Bean (1997) - Movie Synopsis & Plot

Mr. Bean is paid to sit in the corner at the London National Art Gallery and observe the pictures but the Board of Directors is longing to fire him. Unfortunately, the Chairman of the Board thinks highly of Bean, so they cannot. Instead, they send him to the Grierson Gallery in Los Angeles to deliver a $50 million painting called Whistler's Mother for three months which means three months of peace.

There, David Langley, art historian at the Grierson Gallery, has convinced his wife Alison, daughter Jennifer, and son Kevin to allow Bean to stay with them for three months, unknowing of what is in store. Almost instantly, Alison pulls herself and the children away to her mother's house until Bean is gone. Unfortunately, he can't just get rid of him. He had personally vouched for Bean to his director and if Bean fails, Langley does as well (which means he will be fired).

Things get worse when Bean accidentally sneezes on America's most expensive painting and then rubs paint thinner on the face. The painting destroyed, with only a couple days until the grand opening, Langley sees his future erased. Still, Mr. Bean has not given up. Using his strange intellect, he sets out to fix Whistler's Mother and save his only friend's career. Can Bean save the day? Or will he mess things up like usual.
