This collection of several Mr. Bean episodes contains the one in which Rowan Atkinson's laconic twit demonstrates his technique for changing clothes while driving one's car (when one is in a hurry, of course). Also included are Bean's trip to the dentist, a hilarious sketch in which the impulsive hero cannot keep his hands off the doctor's tools and ends up drilling his own teeth, and two equally funny pieces in which the lone Bean employs emergency lifesaving skills (of his own variety) on an unconscious man and also struggles to pack a suitcase. Wonderful stuff. --Tom Keogh

This review is from: The Terrible Tales of Mr. Bean [VHS] (VHS Tape)

One of the best Mr. Bean tapes. If you like physical comedy, it's hard to beat this tape. Very well made. Great stuff!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bean's Best., January 14, 2004

This review is from: The Terrible Tales of Mr. Bean [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape includes two episodes of Britain's fabulous funny Mr. Bean: "The Trouble With Mr. Bean" and "Mr. Bean Rides Again". Unfortunately, the episodes on this tape aren't as funny as most of the other Bean tapes out there.

"The Trouble with Mr. Bean" starts off with Bean waking up late for an appointment at the dentist. The funniest scene on this tape is watching Bean drive to the dentist while dressing in his little car speeding down the road. Bean has some work done on his teeth then sets out for the park where he toys with a boy's boat (and an elderly's wheelchair) and tries to eat lunch while avoiding a buzzing pest.

In "Mr. Bean Rides Again", Bean "jumps" to help a man who has a heart attack while waiting at the bus stop. Later Bean gets stuck in a mail box. Then he packs for a trip and ends up on a plane for a holiday. The scene on the plane is somewhat similar to the movie scene in "The Curse of Mr. Bean", but isn't nearly as funny.

I have grown to appreciate Bean, but wouldn't recommended purchasing this tape unless your a die-hard Bean fan. I hate saying that, but it really is one of the least funny Bean tapes out there. Nevertheless, it is worth watching if you get a chance to see it somewhere.
