Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
DonAlberto Mr Bean(1990-95) means childhood to me, laughter and being sat down on the sofa with my father. As I meant so much to me growing up, one would expect that after watching it yet another time just a couple of weeks ago (I bought it in DVD) some of the things that made it great back then would have vanished, fade away. It hasn't been the case, though. On watching it for the second time (there will be a third, sure) I reckon I enjoyed it even more than the first time since now I'm more aware of the struggles that actors go through carrying out their job. On top of that, we have a character, Mr. Bean, who doesn't mutter a single word in a entire episode. Despite of all those difficulties, you'll end up laughing out loud and with cramps on your stomach. Looks like Mr Bean, as wine, gets better as time goes by. This isn't applicable to his old green car, though. It keeps getting rusty by the minute!
Blake de Raat MR BEAN: THE CHILDISH, COMEDIC GENIUS! Reviewed by Blake de Raat.Mr Bean has beans for brains in "The Curse of Mr Bean". Starring Rowan Atkinson, featuring many other women, as well as a fine gentleman, Mr Bean's childish, convulsive humour will have you rolling on the floor like a child in a tantrum. Therefore, you must see Mr Bean!Mr Bean's blunders are widely used, are effective and will bring out the cheeky child that is in us all. Your sides will split when you see Mr Bean unable to reach the payment machine and use a claw to reach it, especially as he races like a drunk driver in and out of the shopping centre. In addition, you will almost feel sorry for Mr Bean when he leaves the pool naked, bumps into good-looking girls and ends up striding backwards to avoid them. Also, Mr Bean embarrasses himself when he can't fit through the slide, which exposes him to the public. We laugh at his blunders because he acts like an immature infant in the public when he makes mistakes running into people, falling over, and putting himself out there to effectively convey silly, over-the- top, humour in the midst of developing caricature. His use of caricature, in fact, is even more well-developed and sophisticated developing from his blunders. You will never regret the moment when you see Mr Bean be "the popcorn monster" where he intentionally tries to spook his girlfriend in the cinema, building tension as deathly, gruesome music fills the atmosphere. You WILL laugh at this because you see the priceless reactions from both Mr Bean and his girlfriend as they react to a movie which does not seem scary. But to them, through Mr Bean's actions, this changes. Furthermore, the comedic genius entertains us once again by placing popcorn in his nostrils, which is utterly confusing for the fine gentlemen adjacent to him. He also cannot sniff, affecting his breathing and thus bringing forth the humour that was intended by the actor. For caricature to be most effective, Mr Bean has taken some of the most idiotic things that anyone could do, to emphasise his immaturity. Clearly, he must have gotten out on the wrong side of the bed. But nonetheless, Mr Bean develops his acting ability from the caricature and slapstick he develops in these actions. If you thought the caricature was funny, we are only getting started! Mr Bean uses his slapstick riotously to help him build tension in the mostly wordless script. In fact, when he reaches the top of the diving board, he looks like a crawling baby, looking for his mum as he looks over the edge in pain, wishing he could go home! To add to the tension, two teenaged children happily want to dive but see Mr Bean in pain, scared for his life. It was as if Mr Bean was a baby and the children were supervising adults. In doing these actions, he also walked strangely, waddling his arms side to side, hitting people as they went past whilst catching the attention of the public, to develop into this cheeky child. Once again, making us laugh is easy: Mr Bean is clearly "a child in a grown man's body" (Mr Bean) for he does senseless things which clearly evokes humour. Of course, the legendary actor himself has clearly developed his caricature, slapstick, as well as his blunders to develop into the best TV show of all time!How would you feel if you missed a glorious giggle at the end your day? Mr Bean will bring you years of endless pleasure to free you from the darkness and let Mr Bean be the light at the end of the tunnel. It is hilarious, well-acted and well-rounded. You just cannot miss out; therefore, watch Mr Bean.
Matt James Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) was evidently heavily influenced by M. Hulot (Jaques Tati). The difference is that Atkinson's Mr. Bean has a level of malevolence (perhaps mischievousness is kinder), a child-like irresponsibility and unwavering social ineptitude oscillating between crippling self-consciousness and steely defiance. It's unsurprising, then, that Mr. Bean has no evident friends, though it's equally true that he doesn't really need any. What he does cherish (Teddy, his Mini) with fond sentimentality shows his need for companionship but he can get by without it. I think this was intentional: to show us that there's a Mr. Bean in all of us sometimes.The mostly visual humour has a certain strange logic with ingenious, often improbable, solutions. Bean is as funny when he gets into scrapes as he is when he casually dunks a fly in his orange juice with the comically feigned air of a man who does this kind of thing routinely. For the most part Bean triumphs in the face of adversity and when he doesn't he is soon back to his jaunty child-like self. Essentially a positive character who is as wearied as the rest of us with a world full of hold-ups and seemingly senseless rules he can usually find a way around difficulties that most of us would have to think long and hard about and in some cases abandon our consciences.The apparent effortlessness of the humour modestly hides the considerable work behind it. The limited number of episodes represent a lot of time and thought and they're more precious for their scarcity. Better a small glass of fine wine than a gallon of plonk.It seems people love this character or hate him with little middle-ground. If you're in the first group you'll appreciate the careful construction of the situations wherein even the smallest gestures (such as looking sharply up at the new TV set whilst balanced awkwardly on a chair) can bring unexpected hilarity. But nothing can match the scene on board the aircraft, particularly his expression in the final frame.
anthony-rigoni Personally, I think "Mr. Bean" is the greatest British TV series of all time. Ever since I watched "Mr. Bean's Vacation", I have been a devoted fan of Mr. Bean. Every time Mr. Bean would either shove food in his mouth, have a mishap at the church, reenact a wacky Nativity scene, or throw a piece of steak tartar down a violinist's pants, I would be rolling on the floor laughing. Rowan Atkinson(Who is well known as Edmund Blackadder in the Blackadder series and as Zazu in The Lion King), performed his role as Mr. Bean perfectly! So, if you're looking for a TV series telling the wacky adventures of the silliest man in the history of England, "Mr. Bean" is no exception. I love Mr. Bean and the movies he starred in!
