===Bean: The Movie=== Mr. Bean, employed as a security guard at London's "Royal National Gallery," consistently causes disruptions. Faced with complaints about his chronic tardiness, sleeping on duty, and lack of manners, the gallery's board of directors decides to send him to America under the alias "Dr. Bean." His mission: oversee the transfer of the painting "Whistler's Mother" to the Grierson Art Gallery in Los Angeles, California, effectively getting rid of him for a while. At Grierson Art Gallery, David Langley, the curator, impressed by Dr. Bean's supposed credentials, offers him lodging at his home for two months. However, upon learning the truth, David's family is less than thrilled. His wife, Alison, is openly hostile about hosting Bean, while their teenage daughter Jennifer finds Bean repulsive, likening him to "Meat Loaf's butt." During the flight to America, Bean inadvertently falls asleep on a fellow passenger's lap, prompting the uncomfortable man to change seats. Later, Bean unwittingly inflates a child's barf bag, causing it to burst and splatter vomit on the very same passenger. Upon arrival at the airport, Bean's mischievous nature leads him to play a prank involving a pretend gun, resulting in a chaotic chase and his brief detention by Lieutenant Brutus, who is bewildered by Bean's bizarre antics. After being released, Bean meets the Langley family, where he manages to win over Kevin, David's son, despite initial reservations from the family. After Alison departs due to Bean accidentally breaking a family heirloom while tinkering with a CD player, David offers to take Bean on a tour of Los Angeles art galleries. However, Bean insists on going to Pacific Park instead. They visit a motion simulator ride that Bean initially finds unexciting to the point of falling asleep. Later, when Bean discovers the unattended control room and reads the manual, he decides to enhance the ride's speed and excitement. This modification, much to David's and other riders' horror, quickly leads to Bean being apprehended by Lieutenant Brutus once again. Back at David's home, Bean's attempt to cook a turkey quickly fails when the microwave explodes, covering the kitchen in turkey flesh. Doubting Bean's purported knowledge of art, David quizzes him with basic and obvious questions about art, revealing Bean's lack of expertise and confirming he is not a doctor after all. When Whistler's Mother finally arrives at the gallery, Bean is given a brief moment alone to study it before his anticipated grand speech at the unveiling ceremony. However, while dusting the frame, Bean sneezes on the painting and tries to wipe it clean with a handkerchief, unknowingly smearing blue ink across it. Panicking, Bean tries to remove the ink using what he finds in the caretaker's cupboard, mistakenly using lacquer thinner, which damages the paint. In a desperate attempt to repair the damage, Bean crudely paints an unconvincing cartoon face over the damaged area. David, horrified by the botched restoration, hides the painting in a metallic frame to conceal the damage. Fearing the repercussions of vandalism to Whistler's Mother, David and Bean drown their sorrows in alcohol, anticipating the potential loss of David's job and legal consequences. During the night, Mr. Bean devises a plan to restore the painting. He gathers household items and sneaks into the gallery. Bean distracts the lone security guard by spiking his coffee with laxatives and misplacing the keys. He swaps Whistler's Mother with a poster replica, enhancing it with egg whites for a painted texture and chewing gum to affix it in place. The next day at the unveiling, David is astonished to find the painting restored, and Bean delivers an unconventional yet well-received speech about its significance. Following the unveiling, Lieutenant Brutus informs David that his rebellious daughter Jennifer has been in a motorcycle accident and is in intensive care. David, escorted by police, rushes to the hospital but stops en route when Brutus spots a man with a gun. At the hospital, a mix-up leads to Bean being mistaken for a doctor due to his "Doctor Bean" name tag. He stumbles into an operating theater where Brutus, shot earlier, lies. In a unique turn of events, Bean manages to retrieve the bullet and save Brutus amidst the chaos. Still mistaken for a doctor, Bean is brought to see Jennifer, who is unconscious. Uncertain of what to do, Bean awkwardly handles a defibrillator, accidentally electrocuting himself but miraculously reviving Jennifer. Finally revealed to David and Alison, Bean asks if he can stay longer. David drives Bean to Sunset Boulevard, where Bean's misinterpretation of a biker's thumbs-up gesture adds to the comedy. After another eventful week with the Langleys, Bean returns home to London. The film concludes with Bean back in his flat, Whistler's Mother with his cartoonish restoration in tow. Breaking the fourth wall, Bean addresses the audience with his signature farewell: "Yes, I normally stay to the end as well... bye."
