Bee Movie (Full Screen Edition) description There aren't a lot of choices in a bee's life: a bee attends a few days of school, graduates from college, and chooses a job in the hive that he'll labor at for the rest of his life. Barry (Jerry Seinfeld) is different from his best friend Adam (Matthew Broderick) and all the other bees: he wants to see the world outside the hive and can't begin to contemplate doing the same job for his entire life. Naturally, the life of the "pollen jock" bees appeals to Barry because it's the only job that takes a bee outside the hive and into the larger human world. Once outside the hive, Barry breaks the most sacred bee law and speaks to a human named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger) in order to thank her for saving his life. A relationship quickly blossoms and leads Barry to the discovery that humans are stealing honey from the bees and selling it for their own profit. Vowing to hurt the humans the one place they’ll feel it, Barry brings a legal suit against the honey industry and the courtroom drama begins. There are some hysterical moments in the film, as one would expect from a Seinfeld production, and an abundance of one-liners, double-meanings, slapstick humor, and innuendo-laden dialogue that will keep adults guffawing throughout the show. Still, the whole concept of seeing the life of a common pest through non-human eyes is getting repetitive thanks to films like Ratatouille, Flushed Away, Open Season, and Over the Hedge. It should be noted, though, that this first foray into animation by Jerry Seinfeld was four years in production due to its collaborative nature, so its theme may actually have well predated all of the aforementioned films. Children ages 5 and older will love the bees' silly antics, though many of the jokes will go right over their heads and parents should be cautioned about some mildly suggestive humor. More than just a comical film about the life of one very different honeybee, Bee Movie is a social commentary that pokes fun at human behavior while stressing the importance of doing even the most menial job well and championing the power of working together toward a common goal. There's even a lesson to be learned from the bees about controlling one's temper. --Tami Horiuchi |

| ***** THIS WILL HAVE SPOILERS *****
Wow. This was...amazing. I don't know why people love this movie. There was so much wrong with this. 1. Factual errors. Now, someone before me said that it's the FEMALE bees who work, not the MALES as we see in so much abundance here. I don't care if the movie is about animated talking bees, I still expect some amount of realism and facts. Bees sting and don't die, they use machines to get nectar, they have four legs...the list goes on. And they aren't bees--they're miniature humans in bee costumes. If you think about it, it's true. They have cars, jobs, humanoid faces, even Larry King! Later on, Barry talks about coffee. Um...coffee? 2. The storyline. None of the plots or side-plots or whatever are any good. Barry doesn't want a lifelong job, and no one questions this. He leaves the hive, meets a girl, sees humans have been taking their honey and sues the world. It is completely illogical, captain! Why did the court even accept the form? To an outsider it's nonsense. Then everyone accepts talking bees, sides with Barry himself, despite this is something that's been going on for I don't know how long. And apparantly, the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD sides with the bees. What is the message behind this? Humans are evil for getting food? That's how it makes us out--the beekeepers brag about bees "making the honey while we get the money." Barry later says they live off two cups of honey BUT, they have swimming pools. It's like saying you have only a few gallons of water left and demanding a quick shower. And what's with the world dying, eh? And they shot WINNIE-THE-POOH! This and more is just too much belief for me to suspend! 3. Vanessa. This romance plotline between Vanessa the florist and Barry is really unbelievable. He is a BUG falling for a HUMAN, and she's hankerin' for him too! She accepts a talking bee suprisingly fast, making me wonder if the Mosquito hasn't gotten to her, too. Then, many people suggest him and her either making out or that comment by the lawyer about "bed bugs." This is pretty adult stuff for a kid's movie, not to mention weird. Please pardon this comment, but how could a bee make out with a human woman, let alone give her a good time? Seems to me Vanessa's boyfriend is the smartest of the bunch--he's allergic to bees, so he wants to kill it. I would too. Allergies can be serious! Then he finds out it's cheating on his girlfriend. I admit he was a little violent about it, but I would be pretty pissed too if I was him. All this amounts to a pretty poor movie. The jokes are unfunny, so me and my friend had to amuse ourselves with our own. The animation is fantastic, sure, but that isn't everything. It's biggest flaw lies in it's unforgettability, because it's such an empty movie. It's so forgettable, it doesn't amount to any of the previous bug-centered movies at all, like Bugs Life or even Antz. I don't care if it's Jerry Seinfeld, I don't like him, and frankly, this movie fails on loads of marks. Just skip this stinker and move on. |
