Bean (1997)

This first Bean movie cannot fail to raise a few chuckles but ultimately is a complete misfire. Many mistakes are made in translating the character to the big screen, and the main one is Peter MacNicol who, through no fault of his own, is misused as the protaganist for whom Bean can play off. He's simply not a straight enough straight man. Add to that the americanisation of the whole thing and it just sinks like a brick mini. Compared to his European venture this is one big damp squib.
