In the final analysis, this Holiday is a so-so late summer diversion, unlikely to reignite Beanmania -- or repeat the previous film’s boffo box office.

Consensus: Mr. Bean's Holiday means well, but good intentions can't withstand the 90 minutes of monotonous slapstick and tired, obvious gags.

Reviews for Mr. Bean's Holiday
Things break, food is inappropriately disposed of and a silly man in a brown suit makes bug-eyed faces. Just the thing your inner toddler might like, assuming he can stay awake.
08/23/07
Top Critic...makes the fatal and ironic mistake of talking too much.
08/23/07
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.
08/23/07
Top CriticA painfully unfunny series of redundant and half-measured physical gags are strung together like distracting lights along an ugly clothesline of a 'plot' that really is hardly worth repeating.
08/23/07
Atkinson's over-the-top clowning is catnip for the wee ones, but adults will find it an acquired taste.
08/22/07
Atkinson's goofball grotesquerie never lets up.
08/22/07
Top CriticIf you've seen 10 minutes of Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean routine, you've seen it all. Any larger dose can lead to irritation, dry mouth and depression.
08/22/07
While the film is amusing, it is disappointing that Atkinson appears content to play it safe. It would have been fun to see him aim higher.
08/21/07
While Mr. Bean's Holiday is hardly a memorable vacation, Atkinson proves an agreeably silly tour guide.
08/20/07
Top CriticDelivers more of the same awful mugging and simplistic pratfalls that have endeared the character to absolutely no one I know.
08/20/07
Atkinson, even when he's being family-friendly, outshines anything Sandler,Farrell, or others of their ilk do.
08/20/07
Willem Defoe whores himself out for a vacation in Cannes.
08/18/07
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.

Raises many hackles (but few laughs). ...The best joke is taken directly from Tati's Jour de Fete.
04/07/07
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.
04/06/07
There are innumerable set pieces, most of which take an awfully long time to deliver an awfully weak gag.
03/31/07
The jokes are weak. There’s a complacency to the comedy that suggests that nobody could be bothered. Bean gyrating to Shaggy’s Boombastic is a gag that was past its sell-by date ten years ago.
03/31/07
Parents who sat stony-faced through the original Bean are in for a surprise: from an adult perspective, Mr Bean's Holiday is not all that bad.
