Mr. Bean's Holiday Movie Trailer
Mr. Bean's Holiday - Synopsis
Rowan Atkinson returns to the iconic role that made him an international star in Mr. Bean’s Holiday. In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean—the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks—goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions.
Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah…vacation. But his trip doesn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film.
Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker’s precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d’Or? It’s all caught on camera as Atkinson again applies his awkward athleticism to a comedy of errors in Mr. Bean’s Holiday.
Mr. Bean's Holiday - A Brief History of Mr. Bean
Originally, Mr. Bean is a British television comedy created by Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Robin Driscoll and Richard Curtis. The show consists of 14 episodes, and the first episode aired January 1, 1990. The series enjoyed great popularity, and in 2002 an animated series based on the original show began to air.
The first movie based on the odd ball character, Bean, was released in 1997 and covered his exploits in California. 10 years later, Mr. Bean fans will be treated to a new adventure in Mr. Bean's Holiday. A few clips from the new movie, the TV show, and the animated show can be seen on the Mr. Bean website.
