Bee Movie

"No flying in the house!"

I admit, I thought the entire premise of this film was ubsurd. A movie about bees? Seriously? But despite that, I still saw it...and found this film to be quite enjoyable.

Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld) isn't an ordinary bee. After graduating from college, young bees are given a tour of the Honex Corporation where they get to choose which job they will have for the rest of their lives! Barry can't imagine a life with only one job, unlike his best friend Adam (Broderick) who longs to wear a funny hat and catch the very last drop of honey. On a dare from some bees, Barry goes outside the hive and interacts with a human florist, Vanessa (Zellweger). Through his relationship with Vanessa, Barry learns that humans are exploiting the work of the bees, and selling THEIR honey...so Barry sues the human race.

The story is funny, including an appearance by musician Sting (obviously the bees object to this name). It's not the new Shrek, but it is an entertaining film that both parents and children can enjoy.

Rent it: or better yet, see it on the big screen
