Mr. Bean's Holiday (Widescreen Edition)

Ever since a friend of mine told me to watch Mr. Bean on HBO back in the day, I have since loved every second of his hilarious mishaps. I was one of those people who didn't understand, when seeing commercials, what could possibly be so funny. The commercials kinda left out what the concept was. Someone earlier said american's tend to like fast comedies and bupring/fart jokes and whatever. I consider myself very critical of comedies. I don't care if it's "dumb humor" (humor that is dumb on purpose to make you laugh) I don't mind some gross humor, I don't care what kind it is, but as long as it's genuinely funny. So I love movies like Ghostbusters, Johnny Dangerously,Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, My Fellow Americans, and Caddyshack. Even Rodney Dangerfield would be able to elevate a normally stupid movie and make me laugh out loud. Which, by the way, is the only way you should laugh. So in came Mr. Bean. I didn't know what to expect, but my friend up till then never steered me wrong. So I watched. At first I thought, this is a bit odd. And, then, even though I still had that same opinion, I realised I was laughing hysterically. He captured the silent clown comdey of chaplin, the classic facial expressions of someone like Lucille Ball, He also had his own style that is unable to be categorized. I was hooked. So anytime it came on I watched. Then the videos came out and i bought all the vhs tapes and eventually the Whole Bean on DVD which was upsetting because they edited out hilarious scenes. Not even sure why. They had plenty of room on the dvds to even add more:( but that's not mr. bean's fault that's the studio's. Anyway, the first mr bean movie wasn't really a mr. bean movie it's like they tried to make him mainstream. I would have preferred two hours of skits actually. Once u have mr. bean talking, u don't have mr bean, he would say stuff in the show but it was small stuff like his name or mentioning teddy etc. He was not meant to be a mainstream character. He was meant to be someone who didn't fit in with the real world, hence the opening scene of the show in which he appeared to "just fall to earth". He was a boy in a man's body. He didn't act within the confines or rules of normalised society, we knew every thing he did was not appropriate or something a grown up man would actually do, that's what made it funny. As for Mr. Bean's holiday, even though it could have moved faster, it was still more true to the original. It's hard to say how mr bean should play out in a movie simply because he only did maybe ten or fifteen minutes at a time, and even then, it was random. Comedy, though doesn't need a plot to work. I hate when people say it does. All it needs is the setup. To say this movie doesn't make sense until the end, misses the point. It's all about Mr. Bean and the chaos he creates. This movie was more true to character than the first one though, and it shows. I would highly reccomend this one. Also I would reccomend mr. bean fans to check out "the Thin Blue Line" which is available on dvd in amazon, and "Black Adder" both are stylistically different than Mr. Bean but some of the best comdey I've ever seen come out of the uk and better than a lot of U.S. Released Stuff. Also, and no I'm not affiliated with Rowan Atkinson in anyway, LOL Buy the Rowan Atkinson LIVE DVD you will love it. IT's a mixture of standup and visual humor that will blow you away. Everyone I have watched it with me has been in tears by the end. Considering I only knew him as mr bean before watching this, I didn't know what to expect from a talking rowan atkinson, but he totally impressed me and, with comedy I'm not easily impressed.

Growing up in the country in a very rural and remote location, we didn't have option for tv. We were too far out to get cable and satellite services were just in the beginning stages, and were ridiculously priced. We only got local channels 6,8, and 10. Being a boarder state, the channel that came in the best, was the local Canadian channel. Now mind you, the tv in my bedroom was like 10," and black and white. It also had rabbit ears that were covered in tin foil. The original Degrassi High came on when I got home from school, and Mr. Bean. I am not sure how I missed the holiday Mr. Bean movie. Last year I saw it on Peacock, and laughed my butt of through the whole thing!!! I buy a Christmas movie every year, to add to my collection. So, it's no surprise, that this was my top pick this year. It did take a long time to get it, however, it got here, and was in good shape, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a good laugh, you need this movie!!! It's a must if you have a holiday collection!

"Mr. Bean's Holiday is a timeless classic! The entire family burst into laughter, nearly shedding tears. This movie never disappoints—I'd gladly watch it again."

Love this movie. I could watch it over and over

Dumb and funny. Great movie

Finally! This movie is clean but brilliant and sheer entertainment. You can take your saintly aunt Jemima to this one, and you need not fear to let your children, or grandchildren view it either. It is a G and deserves the rating; there is literally nothing in it that is in any way objectionable. Why can't other films accomplish this?When my wife and I went to see "Mr Bean's Holiday" it was pouring down with rain outside. It was the first day of school too. Maybe that was the reason why there were only six in the movie theater to see this gem? We were three couples, yet for all the small number there was regular, hearty laughter throughout the whole performance.I don't know why some reviewers found it uneven or disappointing. It managed to have a lot of brand new material in it. The on-location European filming gave added interest. We never lost track of the plot or lost interest in the action.We're ordering one for ourselves (the wife and I) and one for the biggest of Bean fans among our grandchildren.By the way every one of more than a dozen grandchildren has been absolutely delighted with Mr Bean and have asked to see the episodes from the TV series again and again, as well as the movie "Bean". This one caps the lot in my opinion.

I truly enjoyed watching this film. Having studied a number of foreign languages, I could understand almost all of the dialogue, and the use of different languages gave a lovely multicultural breadth. The beautiful scenery added even more richness.The casting I felt was particularly good. You've got to have ordinary people whom Mr. Bean can play off of. All of the characters were believable, especially the movie director and the young boy. The young actress was too good to be true! What a beautiful role she played!Mr. Atkinson takes his work as a communicator very seriously, and the humor is only part of the equation. For example, the lost bus ticket; what does it mean? Is it merely a means to get him running after a chicken? No. I believe it represents the typically puny way we as human beings try to determine our existence, instead of trusting God to introduce us to the Sabines of this world and line up the bus roofs for us to walk on to the beach.So, for the many who underappreciate this film, I would encourage them to watch it again, and purposefully look beyond the childishness. The English tend to be quite subtle about things, and we Americans miss a lot more than we realize.

My kids love this movie! It’s so funny and nothing weird in it!

Il DVD nonostante fosse nuovo, presenta alcuni graffi, perché il disco non era posizionato nell'apposito cerchietto, la visione del disco è comunque visibile.
