Movie Review : Mr. Bean's Holiday

Ok.....here's the latest and last installment of the hillarious and funny Mr. Bean series. Since the last movie around 9 years ago, I thought that'll be the only movie. It proved me wrong due to the release of this movie. And as you've guessed, it still does serve and show dozens of hillarious and ridiculous scenes from Mr Bean.

This time, Mr Bean get's to go goon a vacation due to winning a lottery. Even by winning it, the disaster has started. Arriving in Paris....all sorts of things happened. From having to walk all the way to the train station, his lunch in the restaurant and ending up lost with a Russian director's son.

Even after getting separated for some time with this kid, Mr Bean gets to know this women he met on the road, who coincidently, needs to go to Canes to attend the Cannes Film festival. Along down the road, they both met again with the lost kid and both went to Cannes. Unknown to Bean, a country wide search has been issued upon him for being accused of abducting the Russian film director. And so, needing to get to the film festival, they start to do all sorts of trick, starting to cross dress to having to punch a security guard.

I think that' all for the story. don't wanna give much spoilers. Just want to save the enjoyment for last. As for the movie, it still does offer us Bean's latest craziness and stupidity on his vacation. But still there are some things that bug me. The story on Bean itself is quite outdated for me. This film should have been released about 2-3 years after the first movie. If it wasn't for Bean's pure stupidity and craziness in the movie, I think the film itself wouldn't be that of an interest to people.

The other thing is about the interaction between Bean and his surroundings. what I mean is, all of his stupidity and craziness since now has all started to his interaction with other people. And to me, this part wasn't exploited realy deep. In here, he just meet people and all of a sudden, they to end up having to follow Bean's madness. The worst part is, the ending of this movie is really lame, pure lame. As if all of the cast in the movie all become Bean...??!

Anyway, if your looking for laughs and giggles, I guess this film serves it's purpose. But for a decent story, I personaly won't recommend it. The first movie for me is way better than this one. I guess this movie is just a mere nostalgia and an official end the the Mr Bean franchise.
