Watchlist:
Childlike Englishman, Mr. Bean, is an incompetent watchman at the Royal National Gallery. After the museum's board of directors' attempt to have him fired is blocked by the chairman, who has taken a liking to Bean, they send him to Los Angeles to act as their ambassador for the unveiling of a historic painting to humiliate him. Fooled, Mr. Bean must now successfully unveil the painting or risk his and a hapless Los Angeles curator's termination.
Critical Reception & Ratings
Bean (1997), directed by Mel Smith, is a family-friendly comedy film that received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the film's slapstick humor and Rowan Atkinson's performance, others found it to be uneven and overly reliant on physical comedy. Despite the divisive critical reception, the film was a commercial success, earning over $250 million at the global box office.
Why you might like this:
Bean, the 1997 comedy directed by Mel Smith, offers a delightfully charming and physical performance from Rowan Atkinson as the lovably incompetent Mr. Bean, who hilariously bumbles his way through a diplomatic mission in Los Angeles. Fans of Atkinson's iconic character and slapstick humor will particularly enjoy this fish-out-of-water adventure filled with visual gags and comedic mishaps.
