Bean Brain

Who would have thought?

Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean'' would make a worthy double bill item with "The Simpsons Movie.''

Yes, it's that funny. It opens Aug. 24.

Atkinson has been playing the Bean character for years, but never to this silly a tune. The movie depicts Mr. Bean's trip from England to the south of France on a free trip to the beach at Cannes. Along the way, everything goes wrong, hilariously.

Bean and the movie, which your kids will love as much as you, are borrowing from Jacques Tati's "Mr. Hulot's Holiday,'' released 54 years ago.

Just goes to the show you that what's funny never changes.
