Mr. Bean's Holiday is a comedy of Steve Bendelack from the year 2007 with Rowan Atkinson in the title role of Mr. Bean . The film is the sequel to Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie .
action
Mr. Bean's parish is holding a lottery in which Mr. Bean wins a vacation trip to Cannes including a video camera and 200 euros in pocket money. He can only speak three words in a foreign language that he uses during his trip: “Oui”, “Non” and “Gracias” ( Spanish for “thank you”). With his suitcase and the video camera, Mr. Bean gets on the train to Paris . The first turbulence in Paris came when he got into a fake taxi to La Défense at Gare du Nord . On foot and with the help of his compass, he finally reached the Gare de Lyon , where he got stuck with his tie in the snack machine and missed his train. He spends the waiting time for the next train in the station restaurant Le Train Bleu , where he causes chaos with his aversion to seafood and dumps his food into a woman's handbag. When the woman's cell phone, which is in her handbag, rings, Bean quickly leaves the restaurant.
Before getting on the train to Cannes, Bean poses on the platform and lets a stranger film him. Bean wants the film to be perfect and several attempts are needed to make it meet his requirements. Bean finally gets in, the stranger wants that too, but at the same moment the doors close and the train starts moving, with Bean but without the man. From now on, he has to take care of the man's son, the ten-year-old Russian boy Stepan, on the train. Bean tries to cheer him up, but the boy slaps him in the face. South of Paris, Stepan gets off the train with Mr. Bean's video camera to wait for his father, who is coming on the next train. Bean follows Stepan to get the video camera back. However, the doors close behind Bean, so that his suitcase continues without him. After a while, Stepan apologizes to Bean and gives him back the video camera. The train with Stepan's father drives past the station without stopping, but the latter holds the telephone number out of the window, the last two digits of which are hidden by the father's fingers. You try the correct numbers, but to no avail, since the cleaning lady answers the phone with Stepan's father.
Bean forgets his passport, wallet and tickets at the stop, whereupon he and Stepan are thrown off the train at Avignon TGV station . The two of them can earn the money to continue their journey by bus as street musicians (through their very own interpretation of Beans from Giacomo Puccini's O mio babbino caro ). Shortly before Bean gets on the bus, however, he loses his card, which is stuck under the foot of a chicken, which is now also loaded into a car with other hens. Bean chases after the car with an old bike. When he arrives at the chicken coop, the chickens have already been released in a huge coop. Bean has no chance of finding the ticket. To make matters worse, he has lost Stepan, who wanted to continue on the bus with him, but is now going on with a band.
Bean is now somewhere in the provinces and wants to hitchhike on, which is difficult because hardly any car comes by. After trying to steal a moped and nearly being hit by a truck, he gives up and continues on foot. He goes to sleep in a small village, which the next morning turns out to be a film set. The egocentric director Carson Clay wants to shoot a commercial for yogurt here with the young actress Sabine. Bean is promptly dressed as a German soldier, but he causes chaos on the entire film set, which culminates in the fact that he slightly injures Clay in an explosion. In the meantime, Stepan's father Emil, a well-known film director, has obtained a police search for his son and the alleged kidnapper Bean.
Meanwhile, Bean tries to hitchhike again to reach his destination Cannes; eventually he is taken away by Sabine, the actress from the commercial who happens to have a car that looks like Bean's Mini Cooper . Sabine also wants to go to Cannes, but to the International Film Festival , where Carson Clay's new film, in which she has landed a role, will premiere. Sabine believes that Mr. Bean Russe and Stepan, who joins them at a motorway service station, is his son. After Bean takes the wheel and drives through the night using matches that keep his eyes open, they arrive in Cannes in the morning. In the meantime, Sabine learns from a news broadcast that Bean is wanted by the police; she herself is referred to there as "his accomplice". She confronts Bean about it, but finally believes him that he is not a kidnapper.
With the help of Sabine, Mr. Bean and Stepan want to find his father; Finally, Bean disguises himself as an old lady and Stepan as a little girl. Carson Clay's film Playback (in which he is at the same time producer, screenwriter, director and leading actor in one person) is now running in the movie theater, albeit with moderate success, because all viewers except himself are bored. Mr. Bean and Stepan enter the building through the back door. Stepan is supposed to wait in a room behind the screen while Bean goes to Sabine in the film room. But she is shocked because Clay has cut the only scene with her in the film to a minimum so that she doesn't have a single line of text. Bean is so upset about this that he simply pulls out the video camera he used to record his entire trip and walks into the projection room. He installs the video camera on the projection device so that instead of Clay's film, it projects the videos recorded from the trip onto the screen. The audience begins to be interested in the film again, but Clay is beside himself and breaks into the projection room with a few security men. Bean escapes from the security guards up to the stage.
Emil now accuses Bean of being the kidnapper of his son. But Sabine and finally Stepan clear up the situation for Mr. Bean, so that Emil is completely satisfied. Clay comes on stage to accuse Bean as well, but when he notices the audience who are enthusiastic about "his" film, he gives up and lets the film press celebrate him as an innovative director. Bean finally wants to go to the sea. In the end there is a big musical scene on the beach with everyone involved under Charles Trenets La Mer .
background
The basic idea was initially to have the character of Mr. Bean travel to Australia under the title Down Under Bean , but later it was decided to go to France. From 2005, intensive work was carried out on the script, and shooting began on May 15, 2006. The film was seen as a homage to the French comedian and director Jacques Tati , whom Atkinson described as one of his role models. In particular , Mr. Bean's Holiday is based on his holiday film The Holidays of Monsieur Hulot , a bicycle gag was taken from Tati's shooting festival .
Rowan Atkinson announced that Mr. Bean's Vacation would likely be the last Bean movie because he now feels too old for the role. Since then, he has played the fictional character only a few times for brief moments, for example at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics . He did not rule out a return to the role, however.
The film's budget was around $ 25 million, with nearly $ 230 million in revenue. The film opened in German cinemas on March 29, 2007 and was also shown there with great success: over 3.41 million film fans saw the film in Germany, making it the seventh most successful film of 2007.
synchronization
The synchronization was written for the cinema release in 2007 based on the dialogue script and dialogue direction by Sven Hasper . In order to save the humor, parts of the dialogues have been left in French (for example, large parts of what the head waiter says) and have subtitles. The dialogues in English, however, were synchronized.

Reviews
The reviews were better than the previous film released in 1997. Still, the critical response was mixed and the plot was criticized as predictable. At Rotten Tomatoes , Mr. Bean goes on vacation , based on 112 reviews, won over 52% of the critics.
“The hilarious, charming finale makes up for some lengths of the road movie - Bean's strength lies in the short sketch that has made him a cult TV figure since 1990. The pictures of the long-suffering, yet sunny French landscape are consistently beautiful. Conclusion: A Briton on the trail of Jacques Tati . "
"More like a string of mishaps than a dramaturgically well-thought-out feature film, the second cinema appearance of the limited Briton has little to offer and is more like a swan song for a former television cult."
