With its obvious nods to Tati, a surprise for Charles Trenet lovers and much humour at the expense of celluloid pretensions, there’s ample diversion here for even the snootiest cinemagoer.

Reviews for Mr. Bean's Holiday
Don't mistake this simpleton hero, or the movie's own simplicity, for a lack of smarts. Mr. Bean's Holiday is quite savvy about filmmaking, landing a few blows for satire.
08/24/07
Rowan Atkinson continues a tradition that in the right hands never gets stale: comic pantomime.
08/24/07
Watching Atkinson pantomime an opera aria or engage in simple sight gags serves as a reminder of how few people are keeping this kind of visual comedy alive.
08/25/07
Rowan Atkinson's second feature-length outing as the bumbling Brit has moments of genuine humor and charm, but overall, [it's] more of a mini-break than a full vacation
08/24/07
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.
08/25/07
For younger audiences, Mr. Bean's Holiday will be a pleasure, and of course, Bean addicts will, as always, be happy to see Atkinson's alter ego return to the big screen.
08/24/07
Mr. Bean's Holiday is a film stuck in the wrong century, more akin to classic silent comedy than modern humor and Bean himself is a clown caught without his make-up, psychedelically colored pants and bright red nose.
02/28/08
The Mr. Bean character is reminiscent of cheap chocolate - some people love it, others despise it, and few can consume too much without feeling nauseous.
08/23/07
People with video cameras can be truly annoying to travel with, but you wouldn't mind the home movies if they were all like this.
08/23/07
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.
08/17/07
Atkinson's amazing physical prowess and impeccable timing help him compare favorably with Chaplin, Keaton, etc.
08/23/07
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.
12/11/07
Atkinson, even when he's being family-friendly, outshines anything Sandler,Farrell, or others of their ilk do.
08/20/07
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.
08/23/07
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.
03/20/07
little more than a string of sketches stitched together to form something close to a feature film. But that shouldn't bother those who like solid slapstick, which 'Holiday' provides in abundance.
08/24/07
It's an improvement, and even intermittently funny.

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.
