Bean | Mr. Bean Destroys America's Greatest Painting

Don't leave Mr. Bean alone with anything of value, let alone "Whistler's Mother," deemed America's greatest painting. How will he get himself out of this mess?

Watch Bean today!

Call him hilarious. Call him laugh-out-loud funny. But whatever you do call him Bean. In the comedy that rocked America, Rowan Atkinson is the outrageous Mr. Bean, sent on a mission to California to escort the world famous painting of "Whistler's Mother" to its new home in The Grierson Gallery. What the gallery owner, one of the richest men in America, and his curator David Langley (Peter MacNicol) believe, is that Mr. Bean is Dr. Bean, a renowned art expert. In fact he is just a sleepy-headed, wildly eccentric museum guard. He's also the clumsiest, craziest, wackiest, wildest, most bizarre character they have ever come across, and certainly not someone you'd entrust one of the world's most valuable paintings to. But they have - and now wreaking havoc in the Grierson Gallery and wrecking Langley's marriage is just the beginning. With only hours to go before the official unveiling by the museum's benefactor, General Newton (Burt Reynolds), something terrible has happened to "Whistler's Mother" and only one man has the power to put it right. The only problem is… that man is Bean.

I saw this in the theater. When he dropped the fabric and showed the painting, the entire audience busted out in the loudest laughter I have ever heard in a theater. They both were so brilliant in these scenes.

Whistler's Mother was mentioned, as part of a PowerPoint slide, during one of my university classes on modernism. Had to cover my mouth and look at my notes to avoid laughing. I think of this movie whenever Whistler's Mother appears.

Love how the situation just keeps on escalating.

Peter MacNicol doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's absolutely amazing in this movie, as well.

3:54 the moment in which that comedy movie suddenly turned into a horror movie

[RichardJMoirFilm]

3:54 is one of the most terrifying moments in cinema, not even joking

[flooshar]

The fact that the reaction of David (the curator) is the 'most replayed' part of this clip fills me with joy

[krigsy]

6:05 I love how his voice gets more gremlin-y as he goes through his panic attack 😂

[ankurvadhwani]

The true legend of silent He shows the power of expression without any characters....


Love u mr. Bean

Everyone's reaction to seeing Sonic's original movie design

This is probably one of my favorite Mr. Bean skits ever. There's certainly comedy within tragedy, and ruined artwork always seems to hit the mark. Remember the failed restoration of that Spanish Fresco years back? Anyways, great scene.

[redbluerc]

5:46 the part you're waiting for 😂😂😂😂

[dh]

Everything in this is hilarious but this time around I noticed how absolutely hilarious the music for this is 😂

[grimminalx]

I was literally watching this movie an hour before you guys uploaded this video, weird coincidence

[Julianpsx]

3:53 that moment when you see the grade of your FINAL

[alwanrosyidi]

I learn a lot from this scene: dont try to fix thing you arent sure of. Otherwise you will probably make the problem worse.

1:49 love it how he fought with it and then let it fall

[colonelfares]

Peter McNicol reaction after seeing the painting is priceless!

[fuckTrump-vj]

[ImABadTeammate]

5:45 is one of the best reactions in movie history.
