movie forecast: mr. bean's holiday

editor's note: for a detailed explanation of a movie forecast, click here

i have no desire to see mr. bean's holiday, nor have i seen anything mr. bean related. i have seen some movies with roman atkinson [johnny english, the first half of rat race] and they were decent movies. on the other hand, i'm not sure what to make of this mr. bean character. for some reason, i don't know if he can talk or not. i always thought he was a mute, but i could be very wrong. personally, i don't see the appeal of mr. bean, maybe i'm not british enough. i think the main reason why it i'm not drawn to his character is because he doesn't seem to have much personality other than being a bumbling idiot.

at any rate, from the trailers that i've seen of mr. bean's holiday, it looks terrible. in one scene, mr. bean spills ice cream and licks the laptop. i wish i were kidding. seriously, would a person with an iq over 70 do that? i would hope not. apparently mr. bean's holiday is only the second mr. bean movie, even though it feels like there are at least eight other ones [i am aware that it was a tv show]. with all that has been said, i concede that it's possible that this movie might exceed my expectations, but i think it is rather unlikely.

prognosis: 4/10

'4/10' i think that's a little generous.

I tend to agree with Harry, but then again, 4 is pretty low. Usually when at least a decent movie comes out, there's some sort of buzz about it or at least a few people saying they're going to go see it. I've heard nothing of the sort relating to this movie.

Those that will see it will leave their closets for two hours and then promptly return to them.
