Mr. Bean wins a vacation. He, through his ridiculous self, makes a father miss the train splitting him from his son. Mr. Bean feels sorry and tries hard to get the son to the father with his silly antics helping and harming on the way. Mr. Bean's Holiday.

My sense of humor is very versatile. That means I can find several things funny without really sticking to one specific area. That is why I can find Superbad funny last weekend and see Mr. Bean's Holiday this weekend and found it funny. Someone asked me how could I waste my money to see it and I ask how can someone be so jaded not to think Mr. Bean is funny with his physical comedy? Last weekend was dirty humor of 13 year old boys. This weekend is clean humor of a British man who barely talks. What's wrong with liking clean humor? If one is to find something wrong with any kind of humor it should be the dirty kind---it says a lot more damaging things about someone who likes it than clean humor could say.

It was a simple story and easy to follow. I could not really tell what kind of story it was going to be by the trailer and so was pleasantly surprised that the lost boy was going to play such a huge role in the movie. Max Baldry plays the lost son and he is pretty funny. I like the mocking scene that happens on the bench between him and Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean). It's cute and simple and I laughed. Trying to call the boy's dad through all the possible number combinations is pretty funny. The language barrier between Mr. Bean and the other characters is funny. Willem Dafoe's character has a movie premier and it was funny because of the seriousness it mocked. I really like how the boy and Mr. Bean beg for money. Hahaha.
