Like I said, though, I love both movies, but they are basically two sides of the same coin. Bean's Holiday (2,290) 6.4 1 h X-Ray G Mr. When the art gallery episode has closed and the action shifts to a hospital operating room, I had the distinct feeling that director Mel Smith was padding.
#MR BEAN MOVIE HOLIDAY TV#
Everything he does is for a reason, and when he goes over the top to get what he wants, it doesn't feel like a cheap laugh, it feels like you're watching a guy trying to make the best of a bad situation, trying to make things right in the world because if they are right in the world, then the world can continue serving him. Perhaps the half-hour TV form is the perfect length for Bean. Sure, he goes on vacation again, this time to France, a place a lot closer to England (at least, in as far as it's in the European Union), but the jokes feel more natural. Just like the original show, right? Exactly. How many live action movies get G-ratings nowadays? There is literally nothing offensive in it. The first movie was given a PG-13 for language, rude humour, etc. You can already tell it's different by the content ratings. Grace is determined to bring the store into the '80s. Havoc ensues for the people of Grace Brothers as young Mr. The second movie was made for British audiences and basically imported over here. 30 years later, some of Britain's most memorable characters are brought back to life. Then he gets a monologue at the end, because Americans want to hear him talk, and they are expecting him to sound alien, because he acted like an alien through the entire movie. This is shown in the first movie at points (him going on the movie ride and cranking it up because it's too boring for him, for example), but then you have scenes where he's completely daft (like the bit where he uses the defibrillator, or the bit where he mistakes the middle finger for a greeting), which is completely out of character and obviously used to push the plot forward and/or get cheap laughs. He doesn't have any foresight, so when when he wants something, he does it in the most ridiculous way possible without any thought to what damage it might cause. Bean isn't dumb, he just gets a bit overzealous when trying to get something he wants. I think that's the one thing this movie actually did completely wrong for the character. He doesn't talk much (I'll get to that in a second), so his Britishness doesn't actually shine through, they just treat him like an alien. Bean goes to America and does things that are familiar to Americans. On the way he discovers France, bicycling, and true love.

The first one was made specifically for American audiences. Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he unwittingly separates a young boy from his father and must help the two reunite. I think they are both great movies, but they are made for vastly different audiences.
