God, what a funny movie! […wiping tears…] Holy cow! 😃 The cartoon-face-on-Whistler’s Mother-scence left me gasping for air, so close was I to blacking out from laughter. ---

You’ll be glad to know the sequel is on its way. [Mr. Bean’s Holiday](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453451/) ---

I see it only took you two minutes to skip through the entire film. ---

I was disappointed, to be honest. I’m a huge fan of Rowan Atkinson and his Mr. Bean character (I even named my cat Mr. Bean), but the movie was a waste of his talents. I saw it in the theater when it came out, so I can’t remember details of the movie, but I just remember being so disappointed by a movie I really wanted to like. I’m glad you liked it, though. I hope the sequel will be better, but I’ll wait for it to be on HBO instead of paying $10.00. ---

Agree with **Nutty Bunny** - love Bean, wanted to love the movie, but was disappointed. ---

Quite honestly, it was the performance of Peter MacNicol that stood out to me. Probably one of the greatest straight-man roles I’ve ever seen. That’s what made the scene I mentioned so great… Eyes popping, slapping forehead: _Oh, God!! … Jesus!! … Holy Shit!!! … Mary!!! … Mother of … Jesus of Nazareth!.._
