Get ready for a FANTASTIC movie that you MUST see as soon as possible. Funny? I nearly exploded a million taste buds in the process. In my view,  Rowan Atkinson is the only human bean entitled to call himself Mr Bean. Why? Because he pushes the boundaries of great humour and good taste in the way only a bean can!

Here's the story: tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Mr Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder and heads to Cannes - the French Riviera resort famed for beautiful superstars and film festivals. A simple case of luxury, fun and sun for some. But not Mr Bean. Of course not. He gets it wrong. Very wrong. And this is France remember, so his misadventure is all the more complicated.

His oddness, pratfalls and hi-jinks attracts attention. He creates havoc wherever he goes, culminating in an unscheduled and riotous screening of his own video diary at the Cannes Film Festival.

Mr Bean has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his holiday spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. He is wrongly thought to be both a kidnapper and starry filmmaker. Will Mr Bean be arrested by the gendarmes? Will he end up winning the Palme d'Or - the most dazzling, treasured award of the festival? I'm not telling!

This is such a SENSATIONAL movie in every meaning of that word, that I am nominating my newest Jelly Belly jelly bean flavour POMEGRANATE as Mr Bean's Bean.
