All reviews by user Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  lives up to its nameI enjoyed Bee movie. I mean, what’s not to like. Who can resist a story about a young bee, fresh out of school, thinking outside the hive and following his dreams? Along the way he meets people and discovers a plot (by humans of course!) to steal the bees livelihood. The film then reverts to that staple of comedy; the legal system where Barry trumps the opposition with a literal ‘smoking gun’ argument that liberates all beedom. Well, not quite. Sometimes winning is losing and losing is winning. Figure it out. In fact, the only way to save the earth will hinge on the bee’s innate ability to pollinate.
But let’s face it. Bee society wasn't that that way on Animal Planet. It’s not fun work, just work. And the phrase ‘busy as a bee’. That’ not just stereotype, it’s a way of life. What about those macho hard-working guy bees? They don’t exist. Everyone knows it’s the women bees who do the work. At least that’s one point I think most women can relate to. The drones are good for nothing (at least that can be presented in a kid’s movie). They’re the queen’s pampered boy toys. And once they’re work is done, they’re out of the hive for good to die. It doesn't get funnier than that.
And what’s with Blood. He’s a male mosquito. It's the women of the species who are out for blood. And Barry’s bee’s eye view of the town. More like a bee camera’s view. But honestly, 100 identical images from multifaceted eyes would just bug me. And would it have hurt to toss in few more in-jokes. like spelling bee winners, or bees named Frodo or Bilbo (sting) Or better ideas!
Let's face it. People and bees just don’t mix. Someone usually gets hurt and the other one dies. I was hoping to give this movie 4 stars but what did I expect? Think about the title. This is a B movie, simple on the storyline heavy on the special effects. But hey, some of my favorite movies are really dressed up B movies so I give it a ‘B’. Hopefully Seinfeld’s next film will feature superman. That should fly. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-1 of 1 Per Page |
