Mr. Bean's Holiday

Joaquin loved "Mr. Bean's Holiday" and choked from the laughter (and popcorn) at one point. Although we got the biggest kick out of watching Joaquin, it was a perfectly pleasant movie in a nonsensical sort of way. I have a feeling we'll be seeing it on DVD in the future as well.

I don't know the history of this character. I am curious about why Mr. Bean doesn't speak, but not curious enough to look it up.
