Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers were initially looking for an unknown actor to play General Newton. But being a fan of Mr. Bean (1990), Burt Reynolds asked for a role, and was then cast to appear as Newton.
- GoofsThe real painting of Whistler's mother is bigger than the one used in the film.
- Quotes
Mr. Bean: Well, hello. I'm Dr Bean. Apparently. And... and my job is to sit and look at paintings.
[applause]
Mr. Bean: Um... so... um... what have I learnt that I can say about this painting? Um... well, firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent. Because if it was really small, you know, microscopic, then hardly anybody would be able to see it, which would be a tremendous shame. Um, secondly... and I'm getting quite near the end now of this analysis of this painting... secondly... why was it worth this man here spending fifty million of your American dollars on this portrait? And the answer is... um... well... this picture is worth such a lot of money because... it's a picture... of Whistler's mother. And, as I've learnt by staying with my best friend, David Langley and his family, families are very important. And even though Mr Whistler was perfectly aware that his mother was a hideous old bat who looked like she had a cactus lodged up her backside, he stuck with her, and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her. It's not just a painting. It's a picture of a mad old cow who he thought the world of. And that's marvellous. That's what I think.

- Crazy creditsAfter the in-credit Working Title Films logo, Bean appears on the screen and says "Yes, I normally stay to the end as well," followed by some more remarks to the leaving audience.
- Alternate versionsMost home video versions include 15 minutes of footage removed from the film.

For those who really love the TV series, a few of the gags have been redone, including the vomit bag joke, the turkey head and the fast ride (the latter is so damn funny).
So if you love Rowan Atkinson or love Mr Bean, go see this film!
