From Universal Studios Home Entertainment: The Worldwide Box-Office Phenomenon Mr. Bean's Holiday on DVD and HD DVD November 27, 2007

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ --

DVD OVERVIEW: "Mr. Bean's Holiday" is the worldwide box-office hit and must-own DVD on November 27! Rowan Atkinson returns to the role he made famous as the comical, bumbling and endearing Mr. Bean.

In this hilarious comedy, Mr. Bean can't believe his luck when he wins a camcorder and an all-expense-paid vacation to the French Riviera. But his journey soon becomes one of mischief and mayhem. During his train journey to the south of France, he falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, all of which are caught on camera and far-fetched enough to ensure his own makeshift entry into the Cannes Film Festival!

Laugh-out-loud funny and yet still heart-warming, this is a Mr. Bean adventure that audiences of all ages will want to watch again and again.
