Mr Bean's Holiday (2007) 7/10

Starring : Rowan Atkinson, Emma de Caunes, Max Baldry, Karel Roden, Willem Dafoe
Director : Steve Bendelack
Running Time : 86 mins

Mr Bean (Atkinson) wins a holiday in a Church raffle to the South of France, but when he gets there he accidentally separates a Russian film director (Roden) and his son Emil (Baldry) and finds himself accused of kidnapping. With the help of up-and-coming French actress Sabine (de Caunes), Bean attempts to reunite the father and son, with disastrous results along the way.

This started off very weakly; I half expected it to quickly turn into just a series of silly, loosely linked sketches, but once the plot kicked in this was actually quite enjoyable, plus Emma de Caunes looks stunning throughout!
