The theme, "Mad Pianos" is amazing. The rest is mediocre.

"Howard Goodall's theme, "Mad Pianos" is the only song worth writing about. It gives the flavor of the movie while including intelligence and layers of meaning not found elsewhere. The other songs are fun and add fluff."
Bean's Soundtrack is cool!

"I saw the movie "Bean" and loved it. So I bought the soundtrack, which was also cool. My favorite song on the CD is "Mr. Bean and the Smear Campaign."
This is the best CD I've bought this year!

"I saw Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie and loved it. In fact, I've seen it 20 times! I rushed out to buy the CD soundtrack and it was well worth it. Everytime I listen to it, I am reminded of the movie and my favorite scenes from it. I think everyone who liked the movie should definetly buy the soundtrack."
This CD is not very good.

"I thought Bean: The Album was a disappointment. After watching the Bean movie, this CD was not nearly as funny and didn't give you the same mood as watching the movie."
