Went to the cinema the other day with the intention of watching Hot Fuzz, but that didn’t work out as planned. So we ended up watching Mr Bean’s Holiday instead. And, in all honesty, I must say that I enjoyed it.

The movie is quite light-hearted, as with most of Rowan Atkinson’s work, and quite tongue-in-cheek, but works well, both for a young, as well as a more mature audience. It’s closer to the classic Bean series than to the previous movie, but much more sophisticated than them. It feel very well ‘knitted’ with everything culminating towards the end and all threads being woven together quite skilfully. I’m not going to say more, for fear of letting on the plot.

Bad news for all you Bean fans out there. Teddy doesn’t actually feature in this movie. But it’s still a great one. Go watch it!
