Mr Bean's Holiday 2 of 5 Stars
Released: August 2007
Runtime: 90 minutes
Rated: G

I will be very honest up-front.  I think Rowan Atkinson is a comic genius - just not as Mr Bean.  Atkinson’s various Black Adder series and even the lesser The Thin Blue Line are far superior to his Mr. Bean persona.  Or perhaps the problem is not with Mr. Bean himself but like most skits-come-movies such as some of the atrocities from Saturday Night Live, the problem lies with taking an idea that works well as a short television skit and trying to drag it out to a full-length movie.. 

After winning a dream trip to Cannes, Mr Bean sets off for Mainland Europe where he “kidnaps” a young boy, loses his luggage, money, and travel documents, manages to disrupt a film shoot being directed by Willem Dafoe (sadly he doesn’t play himself), teams up with a beautiful actress on her way to the Cannes Film Festival and ultimately reunites the young boy with his father and manages to create a star of the young actress all in the space of 90 minutes.  But unfortunately for the audience what sounds like a lot of movie is a bit of an endurance race in what is ultimately 90 minutes of scenes strung together to make up a rather mediocre movie.

Throughout, Atkinson gives us the Mr Bean’s trademark rubbery facial expressions (Jim Carrey does it better) and his spastic body contortions (Monty Python’s silly walks is funnier).  Don’t get me wrong  - there are some genuinely funny bits here and indeed I did laugh out loud in a couple of places but I also laughed out loud on occasion when I have seen the Mr Bean television show as well (the head in the turkey bit is a classic).  It just isn’t sustainable as a full-length movie. 

Interestingly enough where the movie does work is in the cinematography (who knew that would be possible in a Mr Bean movie!).   Director Steve Bendelack and Cinematographer Baz Irvine actually serves up some wonderful “postcard perfect” shots as Mr Bean makes his way from Paris to Cannes. 

Even at only 90 minutes this is a movie that could have easily been completed in an hour long television slot (which would actually be less than 45 minutes with commercial breaks).

In the end, Mr Bean's Holiday should have simply stayed at home this year.
