Bean (also known as Bean: The Movie and Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie) is a 1997 British comedy film based on the television series Mr. Bean, which was written by and starring Rowan Atkinson as the title character. The main plot follows Bean entrusted to oversee the transfer of priceless painting Whistler's Mother from a gallery in London to a museum in the United States. In the process, a number of unfortunate mishaps see Bean inadvertantly break up a marriage, annoy an American policeman and accidentally destroy the painting, although a shrewd plan results in these mistakes being rectified. The film was written by Atkinson and Richard Curtis and was directed by Mel Smith, all of whom originally worked together on Not the Nine O'Clock News. Its working title was initially "Dr. Bean", based on a misunderstanding which forms part of the plot of the film.
