What happens

Mr. Bean's Holiday is a 2007 comedy film directed by Steve Bendelack from a screenplay written by Hamish McColl and Robin Driscoll, based on a story by Simon McBurney. Based on the British sitcom series Mr. Bean created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, it is a stand-alone sequel to Bean (1997). The film stars Atkinson as Mr. Bean, with Maxim Baldry, Emma de Caunes, Willem Dafoe and Karel Roden in supporting roles. In the film, Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes, France, but on his way there, he is mistaken for a kidnapper and meets an award-winning filmmaker after he travels with both a Russian filmmaker's son and an aspiring actress in tow. Produced by StudioCanal, Working Title Films and Tiger Aspect Pictures, Mr. Bean's Holiday premiered on 25 March 2007 at the Odeon Leicester Square in London, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2007 by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics but was a box-office success, grossing $232 million against a budget of $25 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
