Mr. Bean's Holiday

I wanted to take my nephews to a movie while visiting them in San Jose. There was a real lack of kid's movies in the theaters. We could have gone to the re-release of the Nightmare before X-mas in 3D, but they were not having it. For some reason they both wanted to see the Bean movie. I had gone to one of these Bean movies previously and did not really enjoy it much, so I was not looking forward to this one.

It certainly wasn't a great movie, but we were the only ones in the theater showing this movie, so that was a plus. My nephews and I could talk, and we had some fun during the movie. Quin mentioned that it was a movie within a movie. Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes in a raffle, but he also wins a Sony video camera. Talk about product placement, Bean uses this camera throughout the entire movie. It was a pretty cool idea though and they did a good job implementing the whole thing in the end.

Surprisingly there were some good actors in this movie: Wilem Dafoe, and some other guy, I don't remember his name right now, but I like him. It ended on a sort of surreal musical extravaganza. I am kind of interested in this movies' soundtrack now. There were some interesting songs in it. Overall this movie was an enjoyable experience for my nephews and I. Good times.
