Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)

Fun! But without so much dialogue & younger appeal.

[7/10 · 16 April 2007]

This kind of thing usually works in a Bean movie, with actions expressing what is going on. But, after watching the first film it was odd without the jokes coming from other characters which also helps the movie. Moving away from the first movie, this film is fun and less rude than its predecessor (no sexual jokes or hospital operations performed by Bean) which is a lot better for kids. It's nice to see a different approach to Bean with a kid in the supporting role which actually worked well here (which was very surprising). Every Bean movie has to have Teddy and sadly HE WAS NOT FEATURED which is a shame for the Bean finale and one critical scene which was featured in the advert when Bean fills his coffee up from the broken laptop is funny but never made the final cut in the movie for some reason (proberly because Sony sponsored it and it doesn't make their laptops look robust) stupid advertising. No matter, Mr Bean's Holiday is a great family adventure which will suit children of all ages. Instead of taking the mick out France as done in Johnney English they have given it a promotive look instead. In conclusion I personally enjoyed the first Bean the best but this is still a decent Bean addition but in my view not a finale to Bean, he deserves one more film (with Teddy). All the best to review readers!
