Love Rowan, however
This movie sucked.
Great production values but it barely made me laugh.
I expected a lot more.
I like a lot of praise. - Hugh Grant
I wouldn't say it sucked but I was expecting a lot more from Rowan. I think he needs to stick to Mr. Bean stuff. I mean it had potential but it just wasn't on the level of the Mr. Bean movies
shareI agree..
the Johnny English movies are fun..
but Mr Bean... is great...
"I think he needs to stick to Mr. Bean stuff. I mean it had potential but it just wasn't on the level of the Mr. Bean movies"
First of all, Mr. Bean movies are a pale shadow of Mr. Bean TV show episodes. They're not funny, they focus on the wrong things, and Mr. Bean just isn't as nasty or inventive, quirky or interesting in them. He also has too much dialogue for his char, and too many 'honest interactions' with people, and too many scenes, where he tries to PLEASE people instead of being completely selfish (his true character).
Second of all, did you never see Black Adder? THAT is where Rowan Atkinson truly shines. Mr. Bean is just his, let's say 'physical side', and Black Adder is his 'cerebral side' - both have value, and both are funny, but don't leave 50% of his genius off when saying he should stick to something (and don't base that on the MOVIES, which are maybe 8% as funny as the original TV show episodes at best).
I recommend you watch the original Mr. Bean TV show episodes, and then watch Black Adder, and then look at your comment to see just how wrong it is.
