Plot Summary: Rowan Atkinson returns to the iconic role that made him an international star
in "Mr. Bean's Holiday." In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean--the nearly wordless
misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks--goes on
holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of
cinematic proportions.
Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder
to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah...vacation. But his trip doesn't
go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a
series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his
own avant-garde film.
Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious
explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving
at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring
actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the
Palme d'Or? It's all caught on camera as Atkinson again applies his awkward athleticism
to a comedy of errors in "Mr. Bean's Holiday."— More here

stars - Bean’ stumbles with
grinning klutziness
Michael Phillips
Chicago Tribune
"Mr. Bean's Holiday" has made $188 million in other countries.
Whether or not the Americans go for it really doesn't matter. Nor
does it matter to early 21st Century audiences how much or little
this holiday owes to "Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot," to
name its most significant precedent.
(Grade B) Atkinson's goofball grotesquerie never lets up.
Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly
Once again, Mr. Bean, the childlike British idiot — he's
the walking id as Twit of the Year — tries to extricate himself
from the mishaps he creates, which only results in more spectacular
disaster.
A complete and coherent film
Luke Y. Thompson
L.A. Weekly
It turns out to be far better than you’d imagine, especially
with Willem Dafoe cheesing things up as a pretentious auteur.
