Bee Movie

Bee Movie marks the return of Jerry Seinfeld, and if you're a fan of the peculiar man, it's a safe wager that you're going to like this movie. In Bee Moving picture, Seinfeld voices honey bee Barry B. Benson. A free-thinking bee with existential leanings who refuses to accept the fact that his destiny is to remain within the hive and lay down honey for the rest of his life. He believes that adventure awaits him in the outside world. One day, he decides to join the pollen collecting squad as they speculation outside the hive. After getting separated from the squad, he strikes up a most strange bond with a human. Bee Movie isn't without it's inventive moments. There is some absolutely hilarious stuff in this movie. Seinfeld's observant and dry sense of humor is well on display. Also lending a helpful hand are a couple of outstanding bit players, both of which I'd rather not reference in this review. They're far too funny to spoil here. Alas, as cagey as much of the committal to writing is here, there are a couple things that really bothered me in Bee Movie, outset of which was the unimaginitive artwork that went into the look of the bee character designs. There's just nothing particularly interesting about Barry's look or any of the bees for that matter. When you watch a film like Cars (or anything from Pixar), there's something striking about the character designs. Yes, most bees look a like, but in an animated feature, you want that roadblock crossed. Even The Ant Bully managed to put together interesting personality traits for the several ants in that universe. I also really could have done without Barry communicating with the humans. Even in an animated world, you consume to follow rules you set up for yourself. Bees talking to one another is one thing, but bees talking to humanity is something else entirely. In the recent Ratatouille, the picture show makers came up with an interesting way for the rat to communicate with a human without words. Once Barry started talking to Rene Zellweger's Genus Vanessa Bloome, the film lost a little of it's magic for me. Still, Bee Movie isn't without its charm. Jerry Seinfeld is a lot of fun here, and chances are his involvement alone will be enough to win over audiences.
