Mr. Bean's Holiday

MPAA Rating:G
Distributor:Universal Studios
Director:Steve Bendelack
Starring:Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, Emma de Caunes as Sabine, Max Baldry as Stepan and Willem Dafoe as Carson Clay.

Bean attracts trouble like milk attracts cats. And when he wins a vacation to Paris, it doesn't take long for the awkward Englishman to start wreaking havoc. He spills cappuccino on the laptop of a sleeping businessman. He dumps a pile of slimy oysters into a woman's handbag. He creates a traffic nightmare by marching through busy intersections, oblivious to the cars screeching to a halt all around him.

Bean goes too far, though, when he accidentally causes a Russian film director to miss his train, separating the man from his young son, Stepan. The rest of the movie follows Stepan and Mr. Bean as they attempt to reunite the boy with his father. Along the way, Bean gets locked in an outhouse, plays air guitar, sticks matches in his eyes, ruins a yogurt commercial and (perhaps) finds true love.

With no offensive material to speak of, Mr. Bean's Holiday feels like an old silent film, complete with over- the-top facial expressions and corny accidents. In short, it is a feel-good misadventure story appropriate for all ages.
