Response

The film was criticized for breaking with the program's tradition of having Mr. Bean as the centre of attention and for the alleged Americanization required to sell it overseas (Bean also speaks intelligibly, albeit with apparent difficulty, as opposed to his frequent mumbling in the TV show).However, the movie grossed over USD$230 million globally on a budget estimated at $22 million. It was followed by a sequel in 2007 called Mr. Bean's Holiday.

The film currently has a 36% "rotten" rating amongst collated reviews at Rotten Tomatoes, with many critics suggesting that it was over-long and lacking in jokes.

history of the film

Bean, also known as Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie is a 1997 feature film based on the television series Mr. Bean. It stars Rowan Atkinson in the title role and Peter MacNicol. It was directed by Mel Smith, with whom Atkinson had previously worked on Not the Nine O'Clock News. The film re-used many of the ideas from the original television series, although it was set mainly in California.

Soundtrack

The film's original score was by Howard Goodall, who had also written the music for the television series, although the original Mr. Bean theme was not used. Other non-original songs were also featured, in particular The Beatles' "Yesterday" (sung by Wet Wet Wet).

The CD soundtrack also featured a song not used in the film, a cover of the Alice Cooper song "Elected" (from the Billion Dollar Babies album) performed by famed Iron Maiden lead singer and Heavy Metal icon Bruce Dickinson which features sound dubs of Mr. Bean making campaign promises. This had been used for Comic Relief in 1992.

Boyzone also released a song for the film, entitled "Picture of You".
