Just tried again and failed to elicit any enthusiasm in my kids for seeing “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” today.

My 5-year-old remained defiant: “I’m not seeing Mr. Bean,” he said, adding this time for my clarification, “It’s stupid.” My daughter sank deeper into the couch in a pronounced cringe, a response very much like the family dog’s when I raise my voice.

Here I thought Mr. Bean was funny. Evidently he’s deeply disturbing.
