Here we got another little short film starring Brirish actor Rowan Atkinson (next to actress Sophie Thompson) in his career-defining role as Mr. Bean. It runs for 10 minutes and came out back in 1995, so it is already over 20 years old. Bean is at an ice-skating show here and as long as he is just in the stands the havoc he causes is minimal. But you already guessed it probably that it won't be long until Bean ends up on the ice himself, where he causes a great deal of havoc on 2 occasions, once at a group performance and eventually at the highlight duo performance. In-between, he ends up in the male dancer's dressing room where his clumsiness makes things even worse. For the other guy, but also for himself as we find out at the very end. Overall, this is mostly a disappointment in terms of comedy and nowhere near the best Bean has had to offer over the last decades. With the Comic Relief background, the intention here may be honorable, but the execution is not. This one's really only for the very biggest Bean fans. I give it a thumbs-down.
