Last night I watched Mr. Bean's Holiday.
You know, it's very rare that you find a movie that can be hilarious and clean at the same time. God bless him, Mr. Bean had me cracking up and he did it without taking his clothes off, making rude or lewd comments or suggestions, without cheating on his wife (in the movie) and without making money seem like it was a god.
There's no cussing - Mr. Bean doesn't speak in this movie, just grunts and whines and such. If there is cursing, it's in French or whatever language they're speaking in.
Of course, he did steal. He stole a bike to try to get his bus ticket back. He also tried to steal the world's slowest scooter! Had me cracking up.
Mr. Bean wins a trip to the beach. But he quickly turns that free adventure into chaos and one dumb-dumb after the next. By his fault, a father and son are separated at a train station - and so Mr. Bean takes it on himself to look after the boy and to try to find his father. Meanwhile, the father assumes that Mr. Bean has kidnapped his son!
At the end of this movie, I told my friend: "That movie was so ridiculousy childish and downright stupid, stupid, stupid! So stupid, in fact, that I had a lot of fun watching it! It was entertaining!"
There was a scene where I was just rolling! Mr. Bean is in a fancy restaurant eating oysters and these crab-like things. He's pretending to enjoy them, but he's actually dumping them into his napkin. I laughed so hard because I was doing the exact thing when I went to visit my Grandma on the coast! Those oysters looked disgusting to me (raised in a desert-tribe tradition), and so I was pulling the gunk out and stuffing it all back into the biggest shell. I dumped it later on and thanked my hosts for a wonderful meal and then I went to eat a burger somewhere else.
I give Mr. Bean 8 out of 10 gummy bears. Truly fun! It's always fun to see someone else make the mistakes, hee hee hee.
'sides, I just love to laugh.
Thank you very much, please pull forward...
