This looks pretty silly, more Mister Bean type stuff really, but with John Malkovich in it I could watch

Rowan Atkinson is absolutely hilarious. Eventhough I was never a Mr. Bean fan, I've really enjoyed a lot of his other work. I'm sure I'll have to pick this up just because he's in it.

I absolutely hated Mr. Bean, but the movie looks funny, so I may see it.

Rowan Atkinson used to be hilarious in Not The Nine O'Clock News (a comedy show on British TV).

Mr. Bean was sooo funny to me, and this looks actaully pretty funny.. I saw the commercial and found myself laughing at a movie that I would of guessed was going to be retarded. We'll have to see.

Has any one else seen this film and thought it was hilarious, or is it just because I'm a Brit?
I never found Mr Bean funny at all, ( or Benny Hill for that matter) so why was this one different? Any thoughts?

I just saw this last night and I giggled my bum off, and I'm American. (although a big fan of Brit Com) It wasn't just me though, everyone in the theater was laughing. It is not so Mr. Bean-like, even though he is a bit on the clueless side.

I'm a Yank and I love British comedy (Red Dwarf and Monty Python own me!). When I first saw the ad for this movie, I immediately started singing the theme from BlackAdder.

I got the impression that this movie is a combination of BlackAdder and Austin Powers. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know how accurate that is.
