Dec 2, 2007  I took two boys to see this movie and we all enjoyed it. It was funny and there were only a few songs. Jerry Seinfeld did a good job. The kids were very entertained.

A grown ups point of view: I didn’t get too bored. Around the second half of the movie, it seemed to run out of steam for me, but not the kids. The hive, ‘bee world’, was pretty cool. The roads were like rollercoasters and their tedious jobs were fun to watch. Chris Rock had a small part which, I thought, was the highlight of the movie.

A recent college graduate, Barry B. Benson wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City–a job at Honex making honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meets a quirky florist named Vanessa, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom–he talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a guided crash course in the ways of the human race. When he shockingly discovers that anyone can purchase honey right off the grocery store shelf, he realizes that his true calling is to stop this injustice and set the world right by suing the human race for stealing the bees’ precious honey.

Why Bee Movie is a Fun Family Watch Bee Movie, starring Jerry Seinfeld as the voice of Barry B. Benson, is a delightful animated film that offers plenty of laughs and a unique look into the life of bees. The story follows Barry, a recent college graduate bee, who is disillusioned with the prospect of spending his entire life making honey. His curiosity leads him to venture outside the hive, where he meets a kind florist named Vanessa. Breaking one of the cardinal rules of beedom, Barry talks to a human, which sets off a chain of events that leads to a courtroom drama and a quest to save the flowers. The film’s humor and engaging storyline make it a hit with kids, while the clever jokes and witty dialogue keep adults entertained. The vibrant animation and imaginative depiction of bee society add to the movie’s charm, making it a great choice for family movie night.
