Mr.Bean has been big in TV back in 1990 in the television series debut then. Though it wasn't very funny, it certainly was entertaining and the lack of Mr.Bean's speaking made it easy for to be understood by people in various regions.
It is shown that his job is a museum guard at the (Royal) National Gallery. I suppose he used (too much) time in his hands elsewhere from the film. His employers want to get rid of him for his ignorant ways in his occupation. They send a painting known as Whistler's Mother to an art gallery in Los Angeles along with Mr.Bean there along as Dr.Bean. He meets and supposedly befriends a curator named David Langley, who offers him to his house along with his family. As usual, mayhem occurs by Mr.Bean.
It is an entertaining film, it has humorous and imaginative areas but it's not quite clever as the near eponymous man. Some non intellectual humour like Mr.Bean moving up and down on an air dryer to dry a wet spot on his trousers gives a possibly sexual impression, a man who also used the men's toilet there saw him and probably thought of that. Mr.Bean talks more in here than the TV series, the animated TV series or the 2007 film Mr.Bean's Holiday. He spoke in full detail a speech about the painting near the end of the film but hesitated a little during it.
The plot is sometimes generic. It could have been something epic yet as comical as the TV series. Going to America would have been better as an episode or a TV film. Some of the best moments like Mr.Bean restore the Whistler's Mother(as he damaged it by sneezing on it. He wiped it but caused blue ink on it from a pen spill on the tissue. He takes the painting to a room and fixes it with a chemical. It cleans the painting however soon liquidizes it or something, he wipes but then smudges the face of it entirely) by household items although he used a poster for the picture but these still are rare moments.
Bean is an enjoyable film with a handful of funny, entertaining moments. Though it only has the shadow of the TV series it was based from and it would not appeal to everyone. It is still a worthy collection for Mr.Bean fans and is also not that bad.
