Bee Movie Review
January 1, 2008 – 10:12 pm | by Peekay
Barry B Benson wants more of his Bee life than the relentless monotony of a workers bee life. At the very least he wants to leave the Hive and see the outside world. This he does and, of course, falls in love with a human who saves his life from a pair of huge boots. He then discovers that we humans eat honey, the life’s work of his hive, and decides to sue us.
We know how great animation can be these days, and this has it, but it still needs a lot more to make it a worthwhile film. The script is good, it is littered with enough jokes, enough interesting Bee “inventions” to entice you into the Hive-world, and the voices of fine actors such as Renee Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, John Goodman and Kathy Bates.
Anything that comes from the desk of Jerry Seinfeld is going to be scrutinised thoroughly and held up against his giant TV series hit. This is unfair to Bee Movie. It’s a kids movie, and as such it is quite successful. It is mildly engaging, works well, but never fully engages as a Shrek would.
