Movies that feel like Bean (1997)

If you loved Bean, the closest films we have are Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006), Jingle All the Way (1996) and Sky High (2005). All three share Bean's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality. 9 of the 12 picks below are included with a subscription right now on HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video and Disney Plus and others, checked against today's data.

Childlike Englishman, Mr. Bean, is an incompetent watchman at the Royal National Gallery. After the museum's board of directors' attempt to have him fired is blocked by the chairman, who has taken a liking to Bean, they send him to Los Angeles to act as their ambassador for the unveiling of a historic painting to humiliate him. Fooled, Mr. Bean must now successfully unveil the painting or risk his and a hapless Los Angeles curator's termination.
