  REVIEW:  
 

After a 10 year vacation from the big screen, Mr. Bean is back in Mr. Bean’s Holiday.  This time he’s won a trip to the south from France - to Cannes.  He hops on a train to get there.  In Bean fashion, he makes another passenger miss the train.  That passenger is the father of a kid now stranded on the train.  Bean decides to help the kid get to where he’s supposed to go.  With Bean’s antics, they eventually get thrown off the train and have to figure out other ways to get to France.  Along the way, Bean performs for money, eats strange foods and hitchhikes.  They’re picked up by a woman who eventually finds out the cops believe Bean’s kidnapped the kid and are after them.  They’ll finally get to their destination, but not before Bean is forced to contend with any angry movie director played by Willem Dafoe. 

more details coming soon...

     
  MOVIE NIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT:
 

On the Movie Night Traffic Light on a scale of GREEN meaning “Go – it’s a must see”, YELLOW meaning “Caution – it’s okay” and RED meaning “No - stop don’t do it."

We rate Mr. Bean’s Holiday RED.  Stop, really not good!
