What a beautiful movie!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I remember when I was about 9 and I really loved watch Mr Bean when I was really. I wasn't born when it was out but I saw reruns on ITV and sometimes Cartoon Network would air it. If you haven't seen this show I am telling you now you are really missing out.If you are looking for a good comedy to watch I would honestly recommend Mr Bean even today.

Mr. Bean is a SITCOM. That it is what it is defined as. But I assure it possibly couldn't be far the concept and theme of the genre described any further finding common grounds in the studio audience's recorded laughter and the MC(s) doing goofy **** This is show so much beyond that and so much better than most things that came after. The fact that is short and every inch packed with glorious talent that the world couldn't help but recognize makes it all the better.Hats off to Sir Rowan Atkinson made the character of a lifetime and everybody who has ever seen him bring it to life knows it is highest elevation of solo performance. I had seen the show many years ago on a TV channel called Pogo and found it funny. Now grown-up and with a chance to experience to have the whole of that hysterical experience once and for all, I found utterly hilarious. Once in a while you find shows like this which make you scared you might hurt your bowels while laughing too hard cause you can't stop having no control over yourself in moments like this. I so admire this man now, and would place Mr. Bean even above my all-time-favorite, Blackadder Goes Forth.But even though I have praised a solo act so much does no way mean that the show could have done without various supporting cast chipping in and the punctuated music and sounds that the goofy stories being shown couldn't have done without. I would like especially mention Richard Curtis who was the co-writer on the many of the episodes of the show and went onto time-enduring classics such as Love Actually (Atkinson makes a guest appearance alongside some of the biggest names in the British film industry; It is also another must watch on my list) and About Time (It is really about that and a little bit more about love). I wish I had seen his movies after I started doing these reviews, as my policy is to onl write in about stuff I have seen fairly recently and within a week of having watched it. But if and when I do re-watch Curtis's classics, I will love to write about it. Also, my appreciation goes to Mathilda Ziegler who played Mr Bean's Girlfriend. She seemed very talented and had just right amount non-movement and expression in the 'chauffeur-queen-greeting' sketch (I think, i don't remember correctly) and then there were her exchanges with the titular character; oh how she tried things for love and failed hard to our delight (Schadenfreude never had a better example). I found out she is very successful actress who is considered an integral part of the British classic show, Eastenders and also happily teaches at The Norwich School (of Drama?) where she was seen discussing a play with Dame Judi Dench. So she turned out great and that made me happy. Let's be honest and end it here. It is 2018 and that is 28 years since the show was released and all of people I mentioned and their common intersection on the intersection in the world of visual art are legendary material. This is a review only because that is what it is to be called, otherwise it is an exercise of self-reminiscence that I needed to perpetrate for posterity's sake.

Because Mr. Bean almost never speaks, I heartily recommend using a DVD player with the teacher holding his finger over the pause/play button. At the end of any age group's lesson, simply devote 5 minutes to pausing and playing the DVD, encouraging students to shout out the answers to "What's this?", "What will happen?", "What's happening?", "What's wrong?", or any other question that elicits responses from that lesson's new vocabulary and grammar.Because everyone's looking at the TV, normally shy students become vocal. Because the DVD can be started or stopped at any point, it's a perfect "filler" for the awkward "between" times while students are leaving and arriving.I tried other DVDs, notably "Tom & Jerry" cartoons and Red Skelton DVDs, but no others were as good as "Mister Bean" at holding students' constant attention.

The 1990s was a great decade for British sitcom with many popular creations such as ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE, ABSOLUTELY FABOULOUS THE THIN BLUE LINE, THE BRITTAS EMPIRE and MEN BEHAVING BADLY arriving onto TV screens for the first time.However, MR. BEAN is, hands down, the greatest sitcom of the 1990s.MR. BEAN represents the first major attempt at a throwback to the era of silent greats such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton for several decades. It brings to the audience a single character - Mr. Bean - played to perfection by Rowan Atkinson.Many people who have commented on this page as well as on the message boards on this and other websites have engaged in debates about whether or not Mr. Bean has a mental disability or has significant learning difficulties arising from such a disability. However, I believe this debate is unnecessary because I highly doubt that the creators of this show expected anyone in the audience for a single moment to even consider Mr. Bean in such a context.Mr. Bean is shown to be a character who seems to have very few friends, rarely speaks and chooses to solve problems by himself with no guidance from others. Some of his methods to approaching day-to-day tasks such as preparing lunch or going to the dentist are approached in a manner bizarre to anyone watching the show. This is where the humour derives from. Mr. Bean is not necessarily someone with a mental disability, he may just be an eccentric person accustomed to dealing with things his own way. And naturally some of his methods to completing a single task often result in disaster, which we then see Mr. Bean try to resolve.Sometimes, we see Mr. Bean show a mean or petty streak, often trying to compete with those around him or play pranks on those least expecting it. But no real harm comes to anyone at the end of the day and outcomes are always reassuring.Unlike most examples of British comedy in the past 30 years, MR. BEAN is simple, inoffensive, harmless U-rated entertainment suitable for everyone in the family to enjoy. It is for this reason why the TV series became a big hit in dozens of countries throughout the world. It is also why it will still be remembered in several decades from now when lots of other TV shows will have come, gone and been forgotten.Some critics claim the show only appeals to children yet I laugh just as much at Mr. Bean's antics now as I did when I first saw the episodes as a kid in the 1990s. Rowan Atkinson has used his natural ability to create effective visual gags that seem just as funny on repeat viewings as they did the first time.The TV series has to date spawned two spin-off movies, BEAN and MR. BEAN'S HOLIDAY. As one familiar with the type of humour shown in the TV series would expect, it does not translate to success on the big screen. The two movies do little justice to the TV series and fail to truly capture the magic of the episodes. The greatest failing in both movies perhaps resides in the change of setting. In both movies, the producers take Mr. Bean out of his normal British surroundings into America (the first movie) and France (the second movie). As a result, the movie characters around Mr. Bean respond differently to his behaviour than their TV series counterparts. Both movies re-use gags from the TV series, and the evidence shows that the gags were done right the first time. In the second movie, Mr. Bean is shown to be behaving out-of-character with some aspects of his personality exaggerated to the point where some gags seem dumb rather than funny. At various times, I found myself thinking that the character I was watching was not Mr. Bean but a pale caricature. It is clear that Rowan Atkinson was not enjoying himself as much as he did in the TV series. His heart just wasn't in the performance. After the second movie came out, he stated publicly that he would not play Mr. Bean again. I realise how he felt.Returning to the TV series, each episode shows evidence of meticulous planning in terms of writing and execution in every single scene. Even the weakest episode is still highly enjoyable and well ahead of the two movies.My favourite episodes are the first three - these set the high standard that was to continue. I consider the final episode to be the weakest but still hilarious nonetheless.To summarise, MR. BEAN is a truly superb sitcom suitable for all the family. Rowan Atkinson is a true comic genius and the evidence is in the 14 episodes of this TV series. My recommendation - watch and enjoy. But only see the movies if you consider yourself a die-hard fan after seeing the TV series.
