Thanks to a church raffle Mr Bean wins a holiday to the South of France, as he wants to go Cannes. He must negociate Eurostar, Paris cabs, while not losing his passport or the camcorder with which he is documenting his fabulous journey. Bean only uses three words of French : non, oui and gracias. Along the way he has encounters with a lost Russian boy : Baldry , an aspiring actress : Emma de Caunes, and an egomaniac filmmaker : William Defoe, all en route to the Cannes Film Festival.
It is a fun set-up with plenty of room of hilarious set pieces, including ridiculous situations, continuous jokes and absurd humor. The laughs and jokes have a variable strike rate and there are times when you feel that everyone's just treading water before the next big set piece. Still Rowan Atkinson proves is on peak form, showing a great skill on the hilarous public spectacle he plays to save some money to take the bus or train. The theme about a strange man in a strange land is quite fun, too. Rowan Atkinson is well accompanied by a good support cast such as : Emma de Caunes as the sympathetic newcomer actress, the veteran Jean Rochefort, Karel Roden, the little boy Max Baldry and special mention for William Defoe in a likeable role as a maniac and proud director.
