This post should have been a bit earlier to arrive when the holiday season had just started. But thanks to my excitement of the largest festival of democracy, it got a bit delayed. Which brings me to ask you a volley of questions- did you guys cast your vote?And if so, how did you feel? Also, if you did not cast, so when are you going to cast?Do tell me about the same in the comments section. I will be happy to hear about the same.

Since , it is the holiday season, so why not we celebrate the same by picking choices related to the same?Holidays are a great way to unwind and relax.They help us to escape the usual rut of life as well as offer meaningful experiences. Therefore, lets pack our bags and get set for an exciting summer . And if you don’t want to get out of your houses then no worries, I have the recommendations which will make you have fun in the summer and pass the time. Let’s dig in by bringing some memories and nostalgia . What are those memories about? Read on to find out more.

Story line: Mr. Bean wins a holiday to the beautiful city of Cannes. Mr. Bean plans his holiday right by focusing himself and by being intent on getting the directions right. But it seems his holiday to Cannes has something else in store for him. While dining at Le Bleu, Mr. Bean starts causing trouble which leads him to escaping the hotel to avoid facing the wrath of the people. He gets on a train but wants that moment to be captured on his video camera. So, he requests a film director to shoot him. The film director ends up shooting him on the camera but ends up leaving his son on the train which leaves the film director feeling distraught. This and many more comedy of errors take place with Mr. Bean. Will the comedy of errors keep him entangled and ruin his trip?Or will he be able to reach his destination and be able to have a good time?After all, vacations are supposed to be for having a good time .Also, will Mr. Bean be able to reunite the director’s son with his father or will more trouble ensue?

Scrutiny: This is a movie which will bring a lot of childhood memories and nostalgia if you have been a Mr. Bean fan. I never watched Mr. Bean in my childhood(might sound shocking but that’s the truth). So, I decided to watch it. After watching it, I had a mixed bag of feelings- I was laughing out aloud also but I was also having a feeling of cringe.The reason might be that there are scenes which might have made you laugh as a child ; the same very scenes might not appeal to you as an adult. Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean tries to make you laugh out aloud but sometimes it seems as though the humor has been forced upon. Though one thing that appealed to me was the cinematography . The visuals are appealing that it makes you feel as if you are on a trip to France. It captures the aesthetic beauty of the countryside as well as the city side. That was one of the major highlights of the movie which really appealed to me. So, a huge shout out to the team behind the cinematography.

The Sentiment: A movie which might bring some nostalgia and childhood memories to some, but a movie which if needs to be watched should be watched for its beautiful cinematography rather than its story. This was the feeling I experienced after watching this. However, if you are a person who can laugh at any silly jokes , then this one is for you. And also, if you are a big fan of Mr. Bean and would love to have some nostalgia reminiscing about the good old days, then this one can try doing that.
