Comedy starring Rowan Atkinson as the accident-prone Mr Bean. In an attempt to get rid of him from his job as one of their attendants, the governors of the National Gallery send Mr Bean to America to represent them at the unveiling of the Grierson Gallery's new purchase. Needless to say disaster is never far away.
This very enjoyable outing for Rowan Atkinson's celebrated character sees the bumbling Bean working as a National Gallery attendant and jetting off to the States to oversee the unveiling of the newly acquired Whistler's Mother. Those familiar with Bean's TV exploits will recognise some familiar sketches, but writers Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll and director Mel Smith skilfully slot them into a cohesive, engaging and fast-moving story that's perfectly suited to Atkinson's singular style of physical comedy - his close encounter with "America's greatest painting" is an absolute riot. Peter MacNicol's anxiety-ridden American host is the perfect foil to Atkinson and Burt Reynolds is, well, Burt Reynolds in a general's uniform. The film was a massive international hit and deservedly so.
