Bean is my number 123 movie. It is very funny.

The story : Mr. Bean ( Rowan Atkinson ) is a museum guard who behaves very silly during his work. The museum manager wants to get him rid of. So he sends him on a journey to a museum to the US. This museum asked them for a „painting specialist" who can christen the new famous painting of ´Whistler´s mother´. He needs to have a place to go to, so Andy ( Peter McNicol ) takes him in. Andy is a painting specialist that works in the US museum. Andy´s family does not want to have Bean in their house, so his wife and his two kids go to their grandmother. So Andy has to manage himself with Bean in the house. He destroys about everything there is and he behaves very stupidly. One week later Andy´s family is back to check out if bean is still there, and he is. They quickly leave again to the grandmother. In the museum Bean is left alone with the painting, and you know what might happen.... But afterwards they use the copy of the painting to present it to the publicy. Bean does a good job in presenting it, because he does not use any technical terms, but just explains what it is and what it looks like, and he combines it with a touch of humor. While they are going to the hospital, where Andy´s daughter is, since she has had a motorbike accident, a policeman whom they know is hurt by a shot. After arriving in the hospital, bean gets the policeman back to life, and they think he is a doctor. So he is left alone with Andy´s daughter, and he gets her back to life by accident, although he does not know what to do. Andy´s family has some sympathy for him, and they start liking him. But finally he goes back to England, to continue doing his job.

Bean is a very funny movie, and it is made for both kids and adults. Rowan Atkinson is as funny as always in his role of Mr. Bean, although this films concentrates more on the talking Mr. Bean, and not the faces pulling Mr. Bean, as we know him. But he does this job quite good too.

All in all, I rated this film 9/10 and I do recommend it to comedy fans. It is very funny. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Cu, Rinho
