Man vs Baby

Trevor Bingley is back! He now lives alone in the middle of nowhere. He desperately needs money because he just lost his job after seven months and wants to pay for his daughter’s tuition. When the Housesitters company calls him with a new house-sitting job, he remembers that the last time didn’t go very well (Man vs Bee). But when he hears how much money he’s going to make, he’s in.

The only problem? He just found a baby and he has to take him with him.

Review

I was so excited when I saw the trailer when it was announced. I loved Man vs Baby, it was absolutely hilarious. And now Rowan Atkinson is back, but this time it’s just him and a baby he suddenly finds. To be honest, I thought it was going to be a movie. I think I was searching for new Christmas movies when this popped up. But it turned out to be a series with four episodes of around 30 minutes each, so technically it could have been a movie.

I grew up watching Mr Bean. I loved rewatching those episodes over and over again. According to Google, there are only 15 episodes of Mr Bean. Back then, I really thought there were way more. I loved the humor, and Man vs Baby has that same kind of humor. The only difference is that Rowan Atkinson’s character actually speaks in this series. Mr Bean rarely spoke. But he still has the same facial expressions, which work perfectly for this show.

Trevor Bingley has to house-sit a beautiful penthouse apartment. This apartment is pure luxury, and everything in it is expensive, so you can already imagine what could go wrong. One scene that made me laugh out loud was in the last episode, when he’s shopping for Christmas dinner.

I also loved that this series has some really beautiful moments. Even though everything keeps going wrong, Trevor Bingley has a good heart. By the end, he helps several people he’s just met, and I thought that was a lovely message to include. It felt perfect for the holiday season.

The only problem I had was that it was way too short. I definitely wanted more. I need this kind of silly humor sometimes. It’s nice to just laugh and not think about anything for a while. This series was perfect for taking my mind off things. I think it’s the perfect holiday watch, especially if you grew up watching Mr Bean.
