Bean

TV3, Astro Ch 103/HyppTV Ch 103, 12.30am

My brother and I watched this movie so many times we could (and often did) act out every scene from start to finish. Mr Bean is a security guard at the National Gallery in London who’s always falling asleep. They try to get rid of him by sending him to an art gallery in Los Angeles who has just purchased their painting, Whistler’s Mother, and is about to unveil it to the public. Going from security guard to suddenly being the face of his art gallery, it’s hilarious watching him try to fit in with the art world. The best parts begin when art curator David decides to house Mr Bean during his stay in LA and has to put up with all kinds of shenanigans from him. Starring Rowan Atkinson, Peter MacNicol, Burt Reynolds and Pamela Reed.
