AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

        Fun-filled moments are there but not of the range to gaze at the contrived happenings in the summer flick designed for the younger audience. Blessed with a look fitting a comedian is Rowan Atkinson, the lead man in the plot.

        In a simple storyline, much of the complications are self-made due to the erratic and errant ways of Bean. It's boom time for Bean upon entering a church raffle and winning a vacation trip to France with the added incentive of a camcorder.

        Nothing is in order for the bungling Bean. Right from making heavy weather of catching a train to the clumsy ways of consuming a seafood platter, problems chase him as if he was born to tackle that. Before boarding the train, Bean's faux pas results in a Russian film director being left in the lurch in the station on way to the Cannes festival.

        Adding to the woes is the false alarm of the director's son (Stepan) being kidnapped by Bean. In a pedestrian ending, Bean manages a hitchhike to reach the venue. Just in time for his camcorder images to mar the proceedings of a premier event.

        Pedestrian are the ways of Atkinson, almost predictable in his antics and visually short of variety. Interesting segments are confined in the latter part but by then the drabness of the early moiety would have unsettled you.
