One man. One masterpiece. One very big mistake.

Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean navigates the adult world with childlike ineptitude in this British comedy. As an incompetent watchman at the Royal National Gallery, Bean faces the museum’s board of directors’ dismissal attempts, thwarted by the chairman’s affection. Sent to Los Angeles as an ambassador for a historic painting’s unveiling, Bean’s incompetence threatens not only his job but also that of a local curator. His bumbling adventures in the city of angels are a riot of slapstick humor and unexpected challenges, proving that even a simple task can turn into a chaotic ordeal.
