(1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 52% Rotten Page   1   "Rowan Atkinson's operatic lip-synching in 'Mr. Bean's Holiday' is one of the funniest things I've seen in a movie so far this year."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1.5/5 "A great deal of silent era slapstick has only grown better with age. The exploits of Mr. Bean have vinegared."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C+ "It wears thin quickly, making even the 78-minute running time feel like a decade when one is in the thick of Bean prancing around the frame."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "a low-concept equivalent of Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin B "In what Rowan Atkinson has called his last feature outing as the childish accidental prankster "Mr. Bean," this bookend sequel to "Bean" (1997) is a highly enjoyable family comedy for every unadorned moment of Mr. Atkinson's comic genius."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Bean and Carson are less different than they are the same, both self-centered and naïve, sad and lonely. Worse, Bean's movie isn't even as funny as Carson's."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "The movie's pure good will can only carry it so far, and by the third act it has already exhausted all avenues of amusement."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B "Atkinson's amazing physical prowess and impeccable timing help him compare favorably with Chaplin, Keaton, etc."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Mr. Bean's Holiday delivers some of the charm of the original series, and whatever it may lack, it is worth watching simply for Rowan Atkinson's dedicated performance."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. B "Given its sense of quiet and penchant for harmless slapstick, a breath of fresh air in today's sea of raunchy, foul-mouthed sex comedies."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "The old Mr. Bean was a lot funnier than this one. It's a combination of things: lackluster writing (neither Richard Curtis nor Mel Smith returned this time), a lack of energy, and curiously poor timing for some of the jokes."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "While Mr. Bean's buffoonery and incessant mugging may grate on adult sensibilities, the truth is that kids will go gaga over his clownish antics."   SA Movie & DVD Magazine   James O'Ehley 2/5 "The cinematic equivalent of Brussels sprouts; parents will drag their kids to see it whether they want to go or not, and it's bound to leave an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouths of all ages."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 3/5 "click for full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 4/5 "If you are as repelled by the previews for movies like Balls of Fury or The Comeback, come give the old school a try. It's cunningly made."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "Ultimately, if you don't like Mr. Bean, you won't like this film. But fans will laugh themselves silly."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 1/4 "The real culprit is Atkinson's grotesque mugging and lazy pratfalls, combined with the misguided decision to tweak the voice tracks so that most of Bean's sparse utterances come out as guttural, near-incomprehensible grunts."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "The shtick has gotten old."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 3.5/4 "Excellent entertainment, and for fans of the show, it's absolutely essential"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 2/4 "The episodes become all the more repetitive and wearying when stretched to feature length."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 "Rowan Atkinson is one of those people who can inspire laugher with a twitch of his eyebrow or a stumble of his feet. He is this movie, and he gives us a good time."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "As a character who doesn't play on your sympathies, Bean somehow seems less tiresome, less demanding, less of a nuisance."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "Delivers more of the same awful mugging and simplistic pratfalls that have endeared the character to absolutely no one I know."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Infelizmente, as confusões provocadas pelo personagem raramente se revelam engraçadas, levando-nos a torcer para que ele chegue logo ao seu destino e acabe com tudo aquilo."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/5 "What could have been a series of big and bigger set pieces instead flows smoothly from each corny gag to the next goofy slapstick routine."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Atkinson's Mr. Bean, a man of few words, carries their memory in his rubbery bones. When it comes to knowing where he came from, he's got the beat."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3/4 "A breezily funny showcase for the rubbery-faced Atkinson's signature character, a near-mute buffoon partly inspired by the similar antics of Jacques Tati."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 52% Rotten Page   1
