Mr Bean's Holiday (2007)


Based upon the popular TV series, Mr Bean's Holiday sees the titular character, winning a holiday to Cannes, France, in a raffle ticket.  Of course, it is not as simple as that because Mr Bean gets into all sorts of trouble along the way.  It starts off normally enough, with Mr Bean experience a host of new things, and reacting to it all in funny ways.  The plot then focuses a little bit more when Mr Bean is then tasked to returning a lost boy to his father and slowly, the multiple characters he meets along the way start to gravitate together and become clear they are all interconnected.  Despite that, there were times where it feels that the film is a series of random events strung together, just for the purpose of laughs.  While most of the humor works, you get the odd one here and there where it was plain weird.  Mr Bean is still as charismatic as ever and the film is short enough with enough humor to not outstay its welcome.
