Bean	comment	A 1997 theatrical film based upon Mr. Bean.Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is a rather incompetent security guard at Britain's Royal National Gallery. Desperate to get rid of him but unable to fire him, thanks to a good word from the chairman, the gallery's board sends Bean to a gallery in Los Angeles to deliver and officiate the return of the painting Whistler's Mother to the United States. Believing him to be a fine arts scholar, the LA gallery pairs Bean up with their mousy curator David Langley (Peter MacNicol) to accommodate him and ensure that nothing happens to the painting, all while Langley tries to keep his familial troubles at home under control. Naturally, everything goes wrong.Bean would later get another movie in 2007, Mr. Bean's Holiday, which was a stand-alone sequel with little relation to this film aside from the presence of the title character and served to be truer in tone to the original series.

Bean / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Bean / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Though still very goofy overall, this movie has Bean risking more serious repercussions than he's used to (see deconstruction below for details) and there are several jokes that are more adult than the ones on the show, hence the movie's PG-13 rating.

The chairman of the art gallery board is played by John Mills. Teddy, Bean's stuffed toy bear that he often treats as if it's alive, makes a brief appearance at the end of the movie. Burt Reynolds as General Newton, the man who donated the money to purchase Whistler's Mother.

In fact, Bean got a lot of belligerent looks from a lot of people throughout the movie due to his antics. Much of this is due to the fact that Bean spends most of the movie in America, where the concept of a Stiff Upper Lip is typically frowned upon and the lack of a culturally-mandated Weirdness Censor results in people being more openly weirded out by those who deviate even slightly from the norm, which doesn't help the almost alien-like Manchild that is Bean.

Where Mr. Bean's suffered next to no consequences for his antics in the series, they manage to land him in trouble with the authorities at several points in the film, though in keeping with his status as The Fool, he still always manages to get out of these situations through the same brand of antics and offbeat ingenuity that got him into them in the first place. However, Bean's foolishness does have dire consequences for David, nearly costing him his job and his family before Bean sets everything right. It doesn't help that in the TV series, citizens are usually apathetic to his antics. Here? Not so much. In fact, Bean got a lot of belligerent looks from a lot of people throughout the movie due to his antics.

Not helping the fact is Bean's aforementioned description. He clearly isn't aware that his job is to look after the paintings.

He turns away briefly to put the paint thinner back on the shelf, a Scare Chord plays as it's revealed the painting itself is dissolving and Bean enters full-blown panic (and for an art-lover is legitimately hard to watch). After rushing to get the destroyed painting back to its viewing area, he reluctantly shows it to David, where a comical face has been drawn over the blank canvas and David has a hilarious breakdown.

His reaction gets worse as he tries to stop the paint from melting, but only defaces the painting in progress. David is also extremely horrified when Bean shows him the ruined painting (as well as his "restoration") and is immediately worried about what's going to happen if the gallery staff, the public and General Newton find out on the day of the unveiling. Mr. Bean gets immensely nervous when told he's about to give an analytical speech about Whistler's Mother. Once Bean's speech is over, Detective Brutus arrives and wishes an audience with Bean and Langley, with the latter two believing their tampering with Whistler's Mother have been caught.

But I thought I'd better try the round things on my chest first." - which launches him through the air to land on David's daughter Jennifer (who was in a coma following a motorcycle accident) and accidentally revive her. Admittedly residual electrical current in Mr Bean might have helped there but it's still crazy (though electricity always did act weirdly around Bean).

Bean / int_bb18a227	type	It's All About Me
Bean / int_bb18a227	comment	It's All About Me: A lot of Mr. Bean's attitude for the first half of the movie shows that he only cares about his well-being or how he looks (such as when he's more concerned with his wet pants rather than the board meeting between David and his colleagues) and how he's insensitive to David's rocky marriage and career. Even after David learned that he's not a doctor, Bean doesn't care about what David thinks of him when David asks him to act rationally. It's really not until he ruins the painting that Bean is starting to realize how destructive his behaviour to other people really is.

Bean / int_c3c18143	comment	When Bean successfully cleans the snot and ink off Whistler's Mother with paint thinner, he has a face of intense relief and gratefulness while hopeful music gently plays. He turns away briefly to put the paint thinner back on the shelf, a Scare Chord plays as it's revealed the painting itself is dissolving and Bean enters full-blown panic (and for an art-lover is legitimately hard to watch).

This is before his disastrous actions at the Grierson Gallery.

Bean / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Bean / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: A rather obscure one. The announcer's patter in the baseball game that's on the TV as Bean and David drink in the bar — "Smith corks one down the line!" — is Jack Buck's famous call from Game 5 of the 1985 National League Championship Series, rerecorded by an actor. Bean accidentally dropping an M&M into the police chief's body undergoing surgery heavily resembles the "Junior Mint" episode of Seinfeld, which involves a similar situation, but with the titular candy instead. The opening scene of Bean hurriedly mixing all of the ingredients of his morning coffee into his mouth on his way out the door is recreated from a scene in Rowan Atkinson's first staring role on the TV special Canned Laughter.

Bean / int_cc8b2fd	comment	Ascended Fridge Horror: The movie somehow manages to invert it. Bean destroys a priceless historical artifact, but he covers it up by replacing it with a poster of the same painting, and cue the happy if hilarious ending. As it's really only a short-term solution however, the forgery would undoubtedly be uncovered sometime after the film's events. The original script had apparently already considered this, as it ends with someone noticing the change after the painting is slightly damaged, which didn't make it into the final film.

While Bean tries in vain to blow up the bag, the kid gets sick from turbulence and throws up in his bag. Bean sees the full bag, thinks the boy blew it up for him, and pops it. In the TV version, the show ends before the pop; here, we see a close-up of Bean's reaction to the result, with bits of vomit flying by from the bottom of the frame.

However, Bean's foolishness does have dire consequences for David, nearly costing him his job and his family before Bean sets everything right.

After fumbling for a bit, he handles the speech quite well, although it lacks any meaningful content. General Newton and much of the audience just appreciate Bean's straightforward remarks on The Power of Family. The characters who might have been offended take it as dryly comical ribbing at their earlier request not to have a boring lecture of art history, and maybe insert a joke or two into the speech, since they assumed Bean to be a stereotypical British academic.
