Title: Where's the laughs?
Review: I bought this DVD after seeing Mr. Bean's Vacation in movie theater, thinking that it would be as funny as the current offering, and I did not laugh once. I have not seen Mr. Bean the TV show, but this movie feels like any other 5 minute sketch stretched into an hour and half movie. When on think of "English Humor", subtleties, irony and wryness come to mind, but in this movie the gags were predictable and more cringe-inducing than funny, or simply gross. At places Mr. Bean's behaviors were more in tune with a sociopathic retard than a lovable misfit. The entire hospital scene felt tacked on to pad the playing time. And as if the plot was not thin enough, they diluted it further with the added family drama of the Langleys. There's another 15 minutes they could've cut out.
