2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Igor Engelsberger Why do people consider this funny? This kind of slapstick "humour" (idiocy rather) is painful to watch and I can not see how anyone with a working brain could find this funny. How is this series thrown in the same bag with true classics like Fawlty Towers, 'Allo 'Allo, You rang m'lord and Blackadder (a true showcase of Atkinsons genius), which are not only head and shoulders above this atrocity, but in an entirely different universe when it comes to actually being funny. Mr. Bean is not British humour, it's American slapstick of the worst kind. The fact that it got a spin off cartoon AND a movie, speaks volumes how brain-dead the people that watch this, actually are.Do yourself a favor, don't watch this, you'll be better off.

RaspberryLucozade 'Mr. Bean' has secured itself a loyal fan base all over the world, spawning not only two film spin-offs but a cartoon series as well. If it makes people happy, that's fine by me but personally I do not like the show at all. It is childish and banal to the point that whenever I try to tune in, I feel my concentration wandering after about two minutes. I find it a great chore to sit through.Rowan Atkinson plays the title character, a man who never speaks coherently, cannot touch anything without breaking it and whose habits and ways set him some distance from normality. Whilst I liked Atkinson in shows such as 'Not The Nine O'Clock News', 'Blackadder' and 'The Thin Blue Line', I don't feel he is terribly good at working without dialogue. He just comes across as gormless and emotionless. It is like watching someone who is mentally retarded.One of my biggest bugbears about the show is the fact that people label it as silent comedy. Bean is the only one who doesn't talk, everyone else, however, does, unlike in the later and far superior series 'The Baldy Man' ( which starred Gregor Fisher ), where no dialogue was used at all. The latter, incidentally, was slated by the critics who claimed that it was nothing but a cheap rip-off of 'Mr. Bean'. Whilst it is true that the series of 'The Baldy Man' came after 'Mr. Bean', it must be noted that the character of Baldy was created on 'Naked Video' in 1986, a good four years before this show started. Also, in 'The Baldy Man', Baldy only reacted to situations, 'Mr. Bean' however was responsible for them, so oft-repeated comparisons between the two shows are largely unfair.I would be lying if I were to deny the show's popularity but I just could not take to the show at all. If you ever manage to come across 'The Baldy Man', tune into that instead. Trust me, it is funnier by miles.

SnoopyStyle Rowan Atkinson has created one of the most original characters in modern times. Ever since the invention of talkies, there have been few iconic silent characters. We had Harpo Marx, but he came with his brothers. This is truly a unique creation.The best thing is that he is not a nice guy. His selfishness is half the fun. His childlike persona contrasts perfectly with his selfish actions.The least appreciated part of Rowan's performance is his physicality. It takes a lot to do so much physical humor and look so easy doing it. In fact, that's the reason that Rowan is unlikely to continue this character as a long term project.

ichwan_mil Now this is what I call pure fun! Hilarious, entertaining, non-stop laughable actions…a really ingenious 'invention' the world has ever seen in the 20th century. I remember watching it for the first time in the early 1990s, actually unintentionally when I waited for my favorite game show in a national TV station. It didn't appear, instead an unfamiliar title showed up, 'Mr. Bean'. What the hell is this, I thought. And man, soon my hesitation all blown up. And pretty soon too, the world as we know became fall in love with the British guy who apparently came out of nowhere.Mr. Bean, simply put, is really a different type of most comedy shows you've known. You won't get bothered with long tedious lines struggling to make you laugh, for it simply relies on comical gestures and other non-verbal communications to exploit your joke instinct to the fullest – and trust me, it really works. Rowan Atkinson – who plays Mr. Bean – is truly a genius man to do the role. He has in fact a gifted special talents, even his natural mimics are enough to make you jump from your couch crying for joy, for he sends the long favorite stars like Jim Carrey and Eddy Murphy back to elementary school. Just call it the modern and colored version of Charlie Chaplin if you want, only he is British – Hollywood, eat your heart up –, and it's really the most successful 'British invasion' since The Beatles.If there is one thing I would frown upon the most is nothing than its extremely limited episodes. It was shot between 1990 and 1995. Well, you might think that five years period should enough to produce hundreds of episodes and numerous seasons, but not for Mr. Bean, which could only make it to 14 episodes! Could you believe it, 14 episodes in 5 years, that's less than 3 episodes a year in average! Though apparently indeed not intended to broadcast on weekly basis, one couldn't help but keeps wondering why the series saw only a handful of episodes into reality. Fear of being flopped? That was clearly nonsense; even after Mr. Bean went worldwide they still did not make new ones. So, if you happen to see one of Mr. Bean's episodes on broadcast, it is obviously nothing more than a rerun.But, still, in general, if you want pure fun and plain laugh, look no more than Mr. Bean. It has been indeed endlessly rerun on various TV stations worldwide, including in my local stations, but I could still have fun every time I watch it again and again, and it's very likely that you will too. Even if you have a limited knowledge of English it shouldn't matter. Lack of verbal dialogue lines and heavy reliance on physical gestures makes it fully comprehensible and understandable universally by everyone – regardless of the culture and age. It is truly a fun without borders. So, if you are those who still have no idea what Mr. Bean looks like, go to your local store and grab the rare gems while you still can, and get ready to save a lot of leisure time – because it might be a while before we could see a true fun as good as Mr. Bean.
