	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Bean (1997)
		Bean is one of the closest things to the old silent clowns seen since the silent era ended.
		Bean's job, we learn, is to "sit and look at paintings." He's a caretaker for the Royal National Gallery, but the rest of the staff would like to see him fired.
		Bean staples of comedy -- loony but innovative solutions to problems, exasperated facial expressions, blatant obliviousness, juvenile pranks, and desperate panicking -- the film as a whole is less fresh and inventine than the average episode of the television series and a hair more crude.

		Bean trying to undertake what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming, redecorating[?] or taking an exam[?].
		A movie, Bean, was made based on the show in 1997, but this broke with the show's tradition by having a subplot with more developed characters.
		Bean now played second fiddle to the travails of a typical suburban, American family (having been sent to America by a group of acquaintances who wanted a break from having him messing up their lives).

		Bean style, it isn't long before Bean has ruined the priceless painting and must find a way to restore it before the grand opening of the collection featuring the painting.
		Bean will most certainly appeal to most members of the family, as on the whole it is generally inoffensive, and quite enjoyable.
		Bean perfectly, and the rest of the cast are also very good, but on the whole everyone would've benefited from a stronger script.

	BEAN movie review with photos, video
		Bean is the peculiar creation of Rowan Atkinson, the bug-eyed, rubber-faced British comic whose looney behavior already has made him a favorite among PBS-watching anglophiles.
		Indeed, the plot of Bean is merely a clothesline on which to hang various funny sketches.
		In his finest moment, Bean jacks up the speed on an amusement park virtual reality roller coaster, until riders are thrown hither and yon.

	Ottawa XPress - Film - Movie details - Bean
		Bean, the movie, is not different from the television series we've all learned to love.
		Bean is simply as much of a crackpot as ever, and the movie reveals the great comical talent of one Rowan Atkinson, the interpretor of Mr.Bean.His character does have a gift to get himself caught up in the most unbelievable of situations.
		Bean where have the hell you been on planet earth because when the TV show came out in Canada on the CBC channel it was a huge success and everybody was talking about it everywhere you went.

	Bean
		Bean has a good audience in the U.S., but he's not The Simpsons, so there is a certain amount of caution taken with the character).
		Bean (Rowan Atkinson), a strange, child-like man, (introduced to us asleep in a chair), is dispatched to California by the board of directors of the British Art Musuem where he works (who hate him, rather inexplicably at this point), to supervise the delivery of a famous painting.
		Bean works on television within the context set by his creators, and his inventive, greedy, small-mindedness perfectly suits the little adventures which are dreampt up for him, usually revolving around the foibles of British life (and the comedy of embarassment).

		Bean, a bumbling security guard from England is sent to LA to help with the grandiose homecoming of a masterpiece American painting.
		Bean is an internationally known character, but like all internationally known things he's not as well known here in the US.
		Rowan Atkinson who has the title role in BEAN was supposed to have been an electrical engineer but somewhere along the way he had more of the slapstick comedian in him, the silent stars type, and in 1970 made his debut as a performer.

		Bean" know that the rubber-faced British comic is a master of histrionic overacting and slapstick.
		But as with the 1997 movie Bean, the stretch from small-scale TV skits to feature-film length is simply too much.
		Aside from two computer-generated sequences showing a bullet's lethal trajectory in super slow-mo, the film's non-stop kinetic frenzy is a textbook case of style failing to veil lack of substance.

		BEAN is bad, maybe unwatchable, as Rowan Atkinson's beloved Brit is shoehorned into a pedestrian, poorly executed plot involving a famous painting, a Los Angeles art gallery, and a classic case of mistaken identity.
		an art expert.) The "Bean bits"-- tampering with an amusement ride, pretending to have a firearm in an airport, drying the front of his trousers with a restroom blow- dryer, etc.-- arrive at infrequent intervals and too often consist en- tirely of reaction shots.
		Instead of just pointing the camera at Bean and letting him do his thing, the filmmakers shift the focus to the supporting stars and, by in large, that's a mistake.

	Movie Archives: Bean \| www.sdreader.com
		Bean (Rowan Atkinson) might be remindful at times, in his childlikeness and mischievousness and even in his exact facial expressions when peering over or around his rodenty snout, of Pee-wee Herman; and also, in his extended sequences of nonverbal slapstick, of Peter Sellers in collaboration with director Blake Edwards (The Pink Panther, The Party, etc.).
		At the same time, he lacks the innocence and fancifulness of the one (poo-poo and puke jokes are permissible), and, with Mel Smith in the director's chair, lacks the skilled cinema technician of the other.
		And Peter MacNicol, as Bean's overburdened host in America, proves to be a surprisingly firm-footed straight man and magnetic object of sympathy.

	Movie Habit: Review of Bean (1997), ** 1/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bean's latest adventure: a night guard at a museum, Bean is selected to be the museum's liaison in a deal to sell Whistler's Mother to an American gallery.
		However, in the movie, a lot of time is spent between sketches on the "required" structure of a movie — plot, characters, conflict, etc. Those gaps are what makes Bean an average movie instead of a hilarious star vehicle.
		The problem with the gaps is not just the absence of Atkinson; it is the presence of a token plot and shallow characters that requires the attention to shift from silly abandon to forced concern.

	Bean (1997)
		Wisely Bean sticks to what it knows best and doesn't saddle Mr Bean with jokes that only the parents will get; sadly this is also why the movie disappoints.
		The biggest, almost fatal, weakness is that Bean doesn't capture the essence of what makes Mr Bean funny; his determination and inventiveness when solving a problem, taking the most obscure route to victory and sticking with it.
		Mr Bean ploughs on and a tower of complexity rises above him, teetering in the breeze, as he inches forward to his fiinal goal.

	1997 Movie Reviews
		Rowan Atkinson (Bean, BlackAdder, the priest in 4 Weddings and a Funeral) is getting a rep as the British Jim Carrey for this, which hurts me deep inside, since Jim Carrey's sole talent is making funny faces and bouncing off of himself, whereas Atkinson is a comic genius.
		Anyway, the movie's wide selection of -- things -- is its strength, as well as the characters' interaction with each other and with the various plot elements.
		The ridiculous antics and plot "twists" are to be expected, and even welcomed in a movie like this (unlike, say, a recent thriller), and the flick is at its best when it's going farthest off the deep end.

	Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie (1997)
		I remember seeing this movie at the cinema and being quite unimpressed - I felt it was overlong, too Americanised, not funny enough, and Mr Bean spoke far too much for my liking.
		Mr Bean gets into many, many unfortunate situations, some funnier than others, and the ending is too syrupy-sweet but overall I was moderately entertained.
		This significantly improved in the latter half of the movie.

		The character is based on a series of commercials that Atkinson made for the English credit card company Barclaycard that aired on tv during the 1990s.
		Bean is almost a modern day descendent of someone like Charlie Chaplin - the character rarely has dialogue and is almost entirely visual slapstick.
		Although it is like Chaplin put through the peculiar mercilessness of British college humour, wherein a basically absurd situation keeps being compounded further and further to the point one is rolling on the floor at the cruelty of it all.
