Mr. Beeaaaaannn...

Sam & I wanted to watch a movie yesterday, so we decided on Mr. Bean's Holiday, since we missed it 2 weeks ago, so, there were only limited showtimes left and the last showtime last nite was at 8:45pm...we reached there at 8:30 and was surprised that it was already full, only the front rows were available...we usually do not buy front rows, but the next interesting movie showing is TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and that was at 10pm...which was too late...so, we thought, oh what the hell, front row, front row lah! I didn't mind cos it is a comedy, just watch and laugh like mad...no need for any concentration of any kind and it does not have any special effects, so it should be ok kua, I thought...

So, we went in and settled in our seats, making ourselves comfortable, but the screen angle is really quite difficult to see cos it was a really small cinema. So I had to rest my head on the top of the seat and slide down, put my handbag behind me to support my back. I heard an old couple right behind us talking about their wedding anniversary plans, I didn't take a look at them, but from the way they talked, I assumed they were about 50+, I was thinking uh-oh, I hope they are not the type that will repeat the script or react to the scenes...LIKE MY MOM!!!...then the previews started.

The movie was quite ok...I know that many ppl had doubts about this movie, but certain scenes were seriously funny...and there was this one part that made us laugh so hard we cried...seriously CRIED. I was wiping away tears and laughing so long and hard...it was crazeeeeee...this ONE scene made the whole movie worth watching...hahaha...

...but I was surprised that Mr. Bean's teddy was no where to be seen in this movie...his famous button-eyed teddy bear was MIA.

I needed a comedy really badly recently and this movie made me laugh til I cried, so it was a success!

At the end of the movie, I saw the old couple who was behind us walking towards the exit and I was shocked...they were actually about 70+ (I really thought they were much younger, their voices, the way they talked, they were very focused, no stuttering, very firm)...holding hands while walking out, watching them, it put a smile on my face, I thought it was really sweet,...in their 70s, going to the cinema to watch a movie together, holding hands,...I hope that when we reach 70, we'll be like that too :) :P ...and throughout the movie, they were really good, no repeating of scripts, talked very little, so much better than some of the youngsters I have encountered in the cinemas...the movie and this wonderful old couple really made my day :)
