UK's Rowan Atkinson reprises Mr Bean character for 皇冠体育app film

British comedian Rowan Atkinson is reprising his highly successful comic character Mr Bean for a movie being shown exclusively in 皇冠体育app.

Atkinson, 62, retired his rubber-faced character, who rarely speaks on film, several years ago, after 15 well-received episodes made for British television.

The 皇冠体育app-only film is Top Funny Comedian: The Movie, in which Mr Bean – known as Foolish Mr Bean in 皇冠体育app – goes on vacation to 皇冠体育app and attempts to photograph statues with his iPhone.

It is on general release in 皇冠体育app from today.

Mr Bean is essentially a loner who lives in a flat with a small brown teddy bear as his constant companion. One of the series major components was the ongoing troubles Mr Bean faced with his old yellow Mini car.

Mr Bean's Holiday, a movie starring mainly Atkinson, grossed 2.4 million pounds ($3 million) in 皇冠体育app alone in 2007, when it was released.

Movie critics said Mr Bean appeals to audiences that do not speak English because the action is largely mime and consists of traditional comedy, such as pratfalls and embarrassing incidents that need no words.

The main plot of the new movie involves Chinese comedians YueYunpeng and GuoDegang. Guo said in an interview that, because Atkinson doesn't speak Mandarin, they communicated on set through body language.

"We communicated just with facial expressions and gestures. We seemed to understand each other. It was a really interesting experience, which proves that comedy can cross boundaries,"Guo said.

The plot of the film revolves around four men and a girl who go to Macau on a gambling trip and end up in all sorts of trouble involving mime comedy and plenty of slapstick.
