| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Bean |
In what was originally subtitled, “the ultimate disaster movie”, the bizarre Mr. Bean is sent away (on purpose) from his job as a London art museum guard on a mission to oversee the arrival of the world famous painting, “Whistler's Mother”, to its new home at The Grierson Gallery in Los Angeles. Mistaken identity is a common occurrence for Bean who, this time, is thought to be a renowned art scholar, “Dr. Bean”, by everyone including David Langely (MacNichol), the man responsible for looking after Bean during his stay in L.A. Before long, Bean begins causing severe hilarious havoc for The Grierson Gallery, Langley's marriage, and just about everything else Bean comes in contact with. With only hours before the painting's unveiling, something terrible happens to “Whistler's Mother”, and only Mr. Bean can get out of the disaster he again has gotten into.
