- 75Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAtkinson's goofball grotesquerie never lets up -- right through to the inspired finale.
- 75Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerChristian Science MonitorPeter RainerSince Mr. Bean rarely speaks a complete sentence, the effect is of watching a silent movie with sound effects. This was also the dramatic ploy of the great French director-performer Jacques Tati, who is clearly the big influence here.
- 75Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldSeattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldIf you're not a die-hard "Bean" fan, this is probably no place for you. But it's mercifully short (87 minutes), the French scenery is pleasant, a handful of the routines are hilarious and -- with its G rating -- you can definitely bring the kids.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterRay BennettThe Hollywood ReporterRay BennettAtkinson remains an expert clown, and there are sufficient numbers of gags to ensure that Bean fans worldwide will be kept fairly happy.
- 70VarietyDerek ElleyVarietyDerek ElleyThis is a thoroughly Euro bedmate to the 1997 "Bean," with the Gauls rather than the Yanks as the butt of Bean's bumblings.
- 70L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyIt may be a stretch to call this mugging moron sympathetic, but it’s surprising how enjoyable Mr. Bean can be when he’s actually given a hint of humanity.
- 70Washington PostStephen HunterWashington PostStephen HunterDo you Bean? If you do Bean, rejoice. Bean is back. If you don't Bean, here's a chance to start. Bean now, or forever hold your peace.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis time, it's not because mainstream movie-goers in this country lack taste but because the film isn't worth buying a ticket to see. Mr. Bean's Holiday is no vacation.
- 40Austin ChronicleMarrit IngmanAustin ChronicleMarrit IngmanIf you like the character – his tooty yellow Mini, his busily working beetlebrows, his tendency to point and grunt and eat shellfish whole – then you will be rewarded with 90 minutes of such.
- 25TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghAn excruciating series of gags aimed at kids old enough to think it's funny when a grown-up acts like a small child.
