At the Royal National Gallery in London, the bumbling Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is a guard with good intentions who always seems to destroy anything he touches. Unless, of course, he's sleeping on the job. With the chairman (John Mills) blocking Bean's firing, the board decides to send him to a Los Angeles art gallery under false credentials. When Bean arrives, his chaos-causing ways are as sharp as ever, and curator David Langley (Peter MacNicol) has the unenviable task of keeping Bean in line.

Critics Consensus

Bean boasts a terrifically talented physical comedian in the title role, but his constant mugging and silly slapstick quickly wear thin.

How many English language films can say, "To hell with America!"? Very few. Basically only "Bean", which has already racked up over $100 million before the picture has even unspooled in one New Jersey mall.

We'll forgive England for the Spice Girls. Maybe even Benny Hill, Joan Collins, Boy George, Fergie and that habit of pouring milk in tea. But with Bean's arrival, it might mean war.

Slapstick, but gross-out humor.

There are a few funny scenes but not enough to recommend the movie.

On television, Bean is charming. In a feature film, directed by Mel Smith, the schtick is overkill.

7/10

Atkinson isn't afraid to use a few of his best skits from the original show in this theatrical venture, but he adds enough new elements to be thoroughly fresh.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e quaee prrto do final do filme tem o meme dele que mostra o dedo do meio para as pessoas na rua.

Bean, A classic COMEDY movie that I know might not seem fitting for alot of critics but i genuinely don't understand why people were expecting the mona lisa of film with a deep meaning, but Bean isn't that, its a fun film with lots of heart.

Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean stumbles into America, bringing chaos, cringe, and just a flicker of sweetness.

Apesar de reciclar bastante coisa da série, mantém o espectador entretido o filme todo, oque não seria possível se não trouxessem o charme da série original para o longa metragem, por mais que pudesse ter sido um pouco melhor aproveitado
