Bean (1997)

 Second viewing; first viewing with original audio; previously viewed, on a Portuguese-dubbed copy, on May 07, 2008.

Here's my previous review:

Synopsis: A painting by an American is bought from an English museum by an American one. Due to some internal conflict, the English museum sends a clumsy security guard passing off as an art expert.

Appraisal: Decent comedy: imaginatively written, expertly directed, and of course with a remarkable comic performance in the lead role. (...)

Honestly, I find it odd that I had considered it "imaginatively written". It is actually very repetitive, and, to be honest, after a funny first half, the second half drags and the humor veers into corn.

Rating: 47 (down from 55)
