Great Film: "Mr. Bean"
Thank God for English TV shows
"Mr. Bean" is one of those shows that you couldn't forget even if you
tried (not that you'd want to try). The title character (Rowan
Atkinson) is a perfectly ordinary man who either never seems to do
anything right, or always finds the hardest and most inefficient way to
do it. Rarely speaking, he gets himself into all sorts of wacky
situations.
One of the funniest predicaments was at a hotel. Mr. Bean was following
a man in the restaurant, taking twice as much as the other man. Sitting
down at a table, Mr. Bean began wolfing everything down, only to learn
that the food had gone bad. Feeling ill, he goes back to his room and
falls asleep. He wakes up a few hours later and accidentally locks
himself out of his room. Now he has to wander around the hotel naked.
Actually, he ends up naked a lot, and usually there are other people
around. But the point is, Mr. Bean is completely cracked. Whether going
swimming, trying to tend to a baby, going to the beach, or hosting a
New Year's party, he always manages to do everything in a way that most
people would never imagine, and most often ends up embarrassing
himself.
As the British say, smashing.
