 Silly to the bone........... September 29, 2008
A very entertaining and silly movie that you might miss its message. Admittedly it is outside my usual movie preference of dark, sinister and depressing but one does need to lighten up on occasion.
Good, NOT great film September 20, 2008
I did like this movie.
Kind of disappointed, thought it would be funnier.
It was a good effort by Jerry. Took him all the years between the show going off the air in May 1998 to this films release in November 2007 to have a major release of anything.
I am NOT a fan of Re'nee Zellweger's. At least you did not have to see her & that horrible hair cut she has had the past couple of years.
Jerry working again with Patrick Warburton (David Puddy). He has be doing a lot of voice work this decade, notably on "Family Guy".
Matthew Broderick not quite up to the standards of your big animated voice work, the great 1994 "The Lion King". That was a part to be remembered.
Animation is great to look at, colorful.
On the DVD itself. For such a god looking film, what was the deal with the cheap standard plain silver DVD?
And, it is the type of DVD you have to fast forward, FILM MAKERS ARE HOPING YOU WATCH BUT DO WE?) over the previews at the beginning of the DVD before you can get to the menu. I hate DVD's like this, such a pain in the neck. I RARELY watch them unless I am forced to & it does NOT make me go see a iflm or by the DVD of it.
A favorite September 10, 2008
When I bought the movie I wasn't sure if my 13 month old would like it...well he can't take his eyes off! It's a favorite!
 Laugh out loud funny September 2, 2008
As fans of the Seinfeld TV show, we wanted to see Jerry's "Bee Movie". We were pleasantly surprised to see that this animated movie retains that Seinfeld humor, although in a more family-friendy manner. We were laughing out loud throughout, and in particular got a kick out of the Patrick Wharburton-voiced character.
Black and Yellow August 24, 2008
A very good animated film, Bee Movie, brings to the screen the story of a young bee that refuses to accept having to choose a specific job and stick with it for life (which is the `bee way' of doing things). An unexpected arrival, however, will make him discover a world he had no idea existed...
Jerry Seinfeld, Renée Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, and the rest of the cast have done a good job with their performances, though they are by far not my favorite actors.
One thing was rather curious and that was how a specific small religious/ethnic group was mentioned in the movie for no apparent reason whatsoever except to promote it and possibly get the audience exposed to it and/or used to it... There seems to be quite a trend in the last few years. Hmmm...
Furthermore, enough with the openly and provocative anti-southern bias, as the `baddy' lawyer in a trial taking place in New York (!) is (of course) a southerner...
All right they lost, let's move on please! No need or reason to demonize them in the eyes of the new generations.
In short, it's the same old/usual cliché involving one of Hollywood's favorite villains/scapegoats: Southerners (it must have been really difficult to include Germans, Serbs, or Russians in this one).
Nevertheless, the movie is very well written and very well presented, and it will surely provide for more than just a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the colors, the humor, and the music are all very good.
In short, Bee Movie is an entertaining movie definitely worth watching. Strongly recommended along with the Shrek and Ice Age movies, Antz, The Ant Bully, Cars, Flushed Away, Hoodwinked, Madagascar, Monsters Inc., Over the Hedge, and Ratatouille.
