Mr. Bean can't believe his luck when he wins a camcorder and an all-expense-paid vacation to the French Riviera. But during his train journey, he falls into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, all of which are caught on camera and far-fetched enough to ensure his own makeshift entry into the Cannes Film Festival.

L.A. Weekly by

It may be a stretch to call this mugging moron sympathetic, but it’s surprising how enjoyable Mr. Bean can be when he’s actually given a hint of humanity.

Variety by Derek Elley

This is a thoroughly Euro bedmate to the 1997 "Bean," with the Gauls rather than the Yanks as the butt of Bean's bumblings.

ReelViews by James Berardinelli

This time, it's not because mainstream movie-goers in this country lack taste but because the film isn't worth buying a ticket to see. Mr. Bean's Holiday is no vacation.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

An excruciating series of gags aimed at kids old enough to think it's funny when a grown-up acts like a small child.

Austin Chronicle by Marrit Ingman

If you like the character – his tooty yellow Mini, his busily working beetlebrows, his tendency to point and grunt and eat shellfish whole – then you will be rewarded with 90 minutes of such.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman

Atkinson's goofball grotesquerie never lets up -- right through to the inspired finale.

Christian Science Monitor by Peter Rainer

Since Mr. Bean rarely speaks a complete sentence, the effect is of watching a silent movie with sound effects. This was also the dramatic ploy of the great French director-performer Jacques Tati, who is clearly the big influence here.

The Hollywood Reporter by Ray Bennett

Atkinson remains an expert clown, and there are sufficient numbers of gags to ensure that Bean fans worldwide will be kept fairly happy.

Washington Post by Stephen Hunter

Do you Bean? If you do Bean, rejoice. Bean is back. If you don't Bean, here's a chance to start. Bean now, or forever hold your peace.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold

If you're not a die-hard "Bean" fan, this is probably no place for you. But it's mercifully short (87 minutes), the French scenery is pleasant, a handful of the routines are hilarious and -- with its G rating -- you can definitely bring the kids.
