Bean (1997): Mr. Bean Destroys the Portrait of "Whistler's Mother"


     Directed by Mel Smith, and co-written by Rowan Atkinson, Bean (1997) also known as Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie was the attempt to Americanize the hit British comedy of the Mr. Bean TV show. The story has Mr. Bean, as a faux-representive of the London Royal National Gallery, traveling to a Los Angeles museum to unveil the recently purchased "Whistler's Mother" by James McNeill Whistler. Hijinks, mayhem and an art-related nightmare ensue as Bean destroys the painting and disrupts the life of the museum's curator. Rowan Atkinson is great as Mr. Bean. The supporting cast is good as well, including Burt Reynolds and Peter MacNicol.
