Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Starring the incomparable Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, this DVD features 5 of the funniest and most inspired episodes from the timelessly hysterical hit TV show. First unleashed in 1989, the classic British series emerged from Rowan Atkinson's stage performances which featured the silent, physically outrageous comic acting that won him an International Emmy Award, a Cable Ace Award, the Golden Rose of Montreaux--and a global cult following. The madcap brilliance of the awkward man-child puts Bean right on par with greats such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Atkinson's visual humor and infantile havoc-wreaking transcend linguistic frontiers in this irresistible comedy montage. This special collection features the best of the best, with absolutely classic sketches featuring all the funniest, most gut-busting moments in Bean history. EPISODES: Mr. Bean (pilot) / The Return of Mr. Bean / The Curse of Mr. Bean / Merry Christmas Mr. Bean / Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean DVD Features: "The Story of Bean" - a 40-Minute Documentary; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarity from Mr. Bean, September 15, 2007
By R. S. Gilbert "Guitarist" (Hartford County, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"The Best of Mr. Bean" contains short vignettes about the happenings in Mr. Bean's life, whether it is a trip to Harrod's at Christmas time, or his birthday, New Year's Eve, after holiday sales, the horror film, church, a trip to the beach or park, a visit from Royalty, and more.

Some of the quirkiness you come to associate with Mr. Bean is just that; it's what makes him tick.

The humor is sometimes pratfall but also intelligent as well. On the other hand, there is a darker side to Mr. Bean that you may not recognize until you see it, so be forewarned, it could be misconstrued. Personally, I felt a bit saddened by some of this darker side, but usually Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) adds just a bit extra that doesn't leave you feeling put out.

There is some adult humor but children will recognize this; for example, the thumb caught in the fly of the pants; there are few if any other double-entendres that would cause parents to be concerned.

I would rate this humor as PG or PG-13, because there is one scene of rear nudity that discerning parents may want their children to miss.

All in all, a funny DVD that has its best moments interspersed with slower parts; sometimes predictable, but classic bits just the same.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but be careful about the extra features!, October 1, 2007
I just recently got into Mr. Bean after seeing "Mr. Bean's Holiday" in theaters. I loved the humor, and I quickly looked for something on Amazon to get to see more. I devoured every episode and skit on this DVD, and began to watch the extra features, with my children who up to this point had been loving Mr. Bean as well.

The documentary on Mr. Bean includes footage of the "Not the 9:00 News" show he was on, and the opening credits of that show include nudity in the form of dancing topless women, not cartoon or Monty Python type. Needless to say I was surprised by that.

I had been so glad to find some good, clean British humor that was safe for my family to watch too, but we're not keeping this one :(.

The episodes themselves are great. I understand that "The Turkey" skit in "Merry Christmas Mr. Bean" and the "Armchair" skit in "Do It Yourself Mr. Bean" have excluded some scenes that were originally aired, but the character of Mr. Bean is hilarious, and the precarious situations he continually finds himself in will keep you rolling. Just be careful if you have small children.

When Mr. Bean first came into the spot light, I thought he was truly funny. I don't know if I've changed or what, but his movies have become very out-dated and boring. Read more
