Yes, Mr. Bean's Holiday. You know you're in trouble with a Mr Bean movie when the biggest laughs come from Willem Dafoe.
As a self-loving, pretentious American art-film auteur git attending his premiere in Cannes, Dafoe - usually the go-to guy for creeps and villains - is laugh-out-loud funny.
Not so Rowan Atkinson as the rubber-faced Mr Bean, whom we used to love as a TV staple but now recognise as a franchise-conscious opportunist.
Here he treks across Europe to reunite a lost boy with his father while trying desperately to raise laughs from passers-by.
One of the things that made Bean great was that his physical comedy was never intentional and came from getting into a jam or out of an awkward situation. TV was his natural medium and some of those short films are rightly regarded as comedy classics.
Asked to support a feature film, however, and Bean becomes a self-conscious jokester trying to elicit laughs from French citizens and dour children, which does nothing but take the steam out of his schtick.
The title, incidentally, is a reference to the 1953 Jacques Tati classic, Mr Hulot's Holiday. While the pantomime style of Bean is modelled on Tati, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, this sort of conceit is really something actors should never do.
They should concentrate on the job at hand, not on their place in the pantheon. History will decide that.
Save your money and wait for it on dvd if you want to see it. Granny

The other Mr bean movie was a bit lame so I wouldnt watch it at the flicks, I'd rather wait and get it on a ropey pirate dvd. Funnily enough my daughter (who is too young to remember Mr Bean first time round), has been watching all his old series on the pc today and thinks he is ace.

No, but I saw a review that said, "Jokes that were last funny when man was still in his cave."
