Jolly Holidays: We were Merry

My brother has recorded an event from our holiday season. Guesses as to what movie we saw?

Over the Christmas season we were pleased to reacquaint ourselves with relatives visiting from California. One evening midway through their visit, in front of a roaring fire, we watched a movie.

We would later pen the following list:

+ Top 5 Signs Your Party Guests May Dislike Your Movie +

1. "Is this a full-length movie?" (Expected answer: "No.")

2. "Is the whole movie like this?" (Feared answer: "Like what?")

3. Facial expressions of disbelief, pain, or despair when other viewers are laughing.

4. Upon movie's completion: "I could have spent this time ... (fill in the blank)."

5. A strong belief the movie was longer than its actual length: "It was only 84 minutes?!"

I'll give it a few more days and then reveal! The word holiday is a clue.

Ok, the movie is Mr. Bean's Holiday. It takes place in France . . . how bad can it be?

Amanda said...

We never saw it. I take it you wouldn't recommend it??

You know . . . we really enjoy it. I would recommend it but you may want to be a bit familiar with Bean himself first. The person who did express regret did embrace the ending but just thought it took some time to get there.
