Used to absolutely love the film, seen it so many times, however I will be now voting 1 star for everything in protest over how badly you lot fucked the Lost vote.

You made your bed, DiS.

Oh yeah, Dongers, were you starting a repository of films that start with cartoon credits? Honey I Shrunk the Kids is one.

Gave it another star on the basis of this gif alone.

Yes, warny caught that one in the replies to this:

(he got the title wrong though, shamefully)

He has referenced the sequel as it happens. So mine is certified fresh.

I watched it at the weekend.

How does it hold up? I’m not sure I’ve watched it since the 90s.

It was ok. My son liked it. Biggest shock was Lucy from Twin Peaks turning up and doing absolutely fuck all. Maybe one line.

better than fawlty towers but not as good as lost

Please don’t make Mr Bean suffer for the actions of these forum members.

Forgot Chloë Sevigny was in this.

I really really hate Mr Bean

maybe aided by Rowan Atkinson probably being an absolute twat

Rowan Atkinson is the most gifted physical comedian of his generation, possibly even the best to ever do it, but I fuuuucking hate Mr Bean. For every instance of genius comic timing there’s a bunch of gurning and eyebrow-wiggling. feels very Of Its Time imo.

I suspect even he hates it. Because, look at it this way: you’ve become a dad in your 60s. You need to make some cash. You’re one of the most beloved comedians in the world, and your most famous creation translates into literally every language because he barely speaks. And yet what we’ve just got is a third Johnny fucking English film.

His bit where he’s an Indian waiter waiting a table of racist idiots manages to be brilliant too, despite what would now be considered his ill-advised choice of Doing The Accent.
