Mr. Bean's Holiday : 3 of 5
8.27.2007 8:59 PM \| Link	I was pretty surprised when I saw a second Mr. Bean movie was being released, and I never expected to go see it, but my pal Melinda and I couldn't think of anything else to watch. I'm glad I went to see it, especially since it's supposed to be the last time Rowan Atkinson plays the character, and it was actually really funny. Mr. Bean wins a trip to France, ends up accidentally kind of kidnapping a boy, and eventually ends up at the Cannes film festival helping a young actress (who is totally cute) become famous! Of course, lots of crazy things happen on the way in typical Mr. Bean style, and there are plenty of hilarious moments. I really enjoyed watching him pretend to eat oysters (and dumping them in a woman's purse), and his lip syncing of the opera aria O Mio Bambino Caro is absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, there's a huge lull in the middle of the movie, when Bean is kind of alone and having a really rough time, but after a few boring moments the film really picks up at the end, with a great finale that even includes an incredible parody of art films (with some great comedy from Willem Dafoe). As usual, there's not much dialogue since Bean doesn't really speak, and most of the other characters are speaking French, but the lack of language makes it even funnier, I think. Mr. Bean's Holiday certainly isn't a must-see movie, but I definitely had some nice laughs and enjoyed some beautiful European scenery! Labels: movies
