One scene that cracked me up was when he ruined the painting and tried to fix it with a poster and !
The way he panicked really made me laugh my off.
How the Actors Performed:
Rowan Atkinson the role of Mr. Bean (acted perfectly). He didn’t even need to talk – his body language volumes (showed a lot of meaning without words).
He’s a born comedian – his timing and facial were on (exact and funny).
He really stole the (was the most interesting character) every time he was on screen.
The other actors also did a good job. Peter MacNicol as David was a great contrast – he played the man (a serious character who makes the funny one seem even funnier).

The funniest part was when Mr. Bean accidentally on the painting, tried to clean it, and made it worse. His silly solution made everything worse – but in a very funny way.
