Bee Movie is a comedy that will change everything you think you know about bees. Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice – honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees' honey for centuries, and ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey.
This movie was nowhere near the excellency that is Shrek or most Pixar movies, but it still managed to be a very enjoyable animated movie for both kids and adults. There were some really big laughs and the animation scenes where the bees were flying was beyond amazing. I think the only thing that really bothered me about this movie was the year long non-stop hype for it because of Jerry Seinfeld. Clearly, there is a point when overexposure gets so annoying that it effects your level of enjoyment of something and I'm pretty sure that Seinfeld went about 1 million miles past that point with the hyping of this movie.
That being said, the movie is definitely worth the price of admission, has a great/short running time and is a great flick for both kids and parents to check out together.
