The episodes become all the more repetitive and wearying when stretched to feature length.

Consensus: Mr. Bean's Holiday means well, but good intentions can't withstand the 90 minutes of monotonous slapstick and tired, obvious gags.
Theatrical Release:30-03-2007
Synopsis: The hopelessly daft but delightful Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is back in this jovial comedy. This time he wins a trip to the Cannes Film Festival and havoc ensues to such an extent that he may never... [More]

Reviews for Mr. Bean's Holiday
After 'winning' a camcorder and a vacation package to the French Riviera, Bean sets out in Bean style, and the laughs don’t stop.
09/04/07
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.
09/02/07
Mr. Bean’s Holiday is a movie that offers intermittent laughs and some funny sequences, yet does not come together as a whole. It lacks focus and pacing.
09/01/07
Taking aim at self-absorbed filmmakers, amateur and professional, emerges as another strong thematic target. If only the comedy produced as many laughs as things to say.
09/01/07
For those who appreciate the power of Bean in brevity, this 'Bean' leads to too much bad gas.
08/30/07
I wasn't a fan of his first film, but darned if I didn't enjoy the ride in "Mr. Bean's Holiday."
08/29/07
It's a shame that Atkinson has yet to find a feature film to do his character justice.
08/29/07
Not only are the physical gags clever, they're refreshing to see in a day when this kind of carefully constructed visual comedy has completely vanished from the movies.
08/29/07
I hate Mr. Bean, I hated this movie. He’s an annoying, creepy, leering, sweaty, unfunny character, and ten seconds would be too much and this movie’s like 90 minutes.
08/27/07
Rowan Atkinson is one of those people who can inspire laugher with a twitch of his eyebrow or a stumble of his feet. He is this movie, and he gives us a good time.
08/26/07
A great deal of silent era slapstick has only grown better with age. The exploits of Mr. Bean have vinegared.
08/25/07
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
Mr. Bean's Holiday is a very cute movie. Unfortunately, cute is rarely funny.
08/25/07
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
Atkinson's Mr. Bean, a man of few words, carries their memory in his rubbery bones. When it comes to knowing where he came from, he's got the beat.
08/24/07
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
Top CriticUltimately, if you don't like Mr. Bean, you won't like this film. But fans will laugh themselves silly.
08/24/07
The film, set mostly in France, pays homage to Jacques Tati, but the mostly silent gags feel like watered-down Bean.
08/24/07
The real culprit is Atkinson's grotesque mugging and lazy pratfalls, combined with the misguided decision to tweak the voice tracks so that most of Bean's sparse utterances come out as guttural, near-incomprehensible grunts.
