Mr Bean is a character that has captured the hearts of millions around the world with his hilarious antics and lovable personality. However, as beloved as he is, there have been instances where Mr Bean's spells of misfortune have made us cringe and laugh at the same time. One memorable episode is when Mr Bean goes on a date at a fancy restaurant. With his trademark clumsiness and lack of social graces, he manages to turn a simple dinner into a disaster. From accidentally spilling his drink on the table to using the wrong utensils for his meal, Mr Bean's lack of awareness and his inability to read social cues result in a series of embarrassing moments. His attempts to salvage the situation only make things worse, such as when he uses a bread roll as an earplug or mistakenly ingests a snail.

This december will bear the mark of H.P. Lovecraft, as we’ll be releasing another film inspired by Lovecraft as part of our „Collector’s Series“.
THE CURSE is based on H.P. Lovecraft’s THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE, and was produced (well, at least on paper) by the „Maestro of Gore“, Lucio Fulci. Truth be told: THE CURSE is not a splatterfilm, but it’s a nice littke 80’s horror movie, with a lot of practical and rather slimy effects, that – up until 2014 – had a place on Germany’s infamous „Index“, which means that it was pretty much a video nasty.
Our edition is the film’s first release on HD in Europe.

Reviews for "From Bad Day to Worse: The Wild Ride of Mr Bean's Unfortunate Spell"
1. Lucy - 1/5 rating:
I was really disappointed with "The Unfortunate Spell of Mr Bean". The storyline was lacking in depth and coherence. The humor felt forced and the jokes fell flat most of the time. The acting was also subpar, with Mr Bean's character appearing more annoying than endearing. Overall, I found it difficult to connect with the characters or find any redeeming qualities in this film.
2. John - 2/5 rating:
I have been a fan of Mr Bean for years, but "The Unfortunate Spell of Mr Bean" left me feeling underwhelmed. The plot felt disjointed and the attempts at comedy were repetitive and uninspiring. The film relied too heavily on slapstick humor, which became tiresome after a while. While Rowan Atkinson's physical comedy is commendable, it seemed like he was trying too hard to recreate the magic of the original Mr Bean series, resulting in a lackluster performance.
3. Emily - 1/5 rating:
I found "The Unfortunate Spell of Mr Bean" to be a complete waste of time. The story was confusing and lacked any real substance. The jokes were predictable and lacked originality. Rowan Atkinson's portrayal of Mr Bean felt forced and unnatural. It's a shame because I had high expectations for this film, but it fell far short of delivering an enjoyable watching experience.
4. David - 2/5 rating:
"The Unfortunate Spell of Mr Bean" was a disappointment for me. The humor was hit or miss, with some jokes falling flat and others feeling recycled from previous Mr Bean episodes. The plot was thin and predictable, lacking the wit and charm that made the original series so popular. While Rowan Atkinson's physical comedy skills still shine through, it wasn't enough to save the film from feeling lackluster and forgettable.
