This movie is a testament to how you can't judge a movie by its...ummm....theatrical trailer? I went to the theater expecting to see a mediocre animated kids movie. I was wrong, and I ended up seeing a pretty funny movie. Funnier than I thought a movie with Jerry Seinfeld in it would be.
The movie tells the tale of Barry Bee Benson, a bee fresh out of college who decides to leave the hive for a day before he makes his one permanent job choice. You see, in this world, Bees take three days of Elementary school, three of junior high, three of high school, and three of college, and then they choose the job they will have until they die. Bees can also talk, and take nectar from flowers using some form of gun-vacuum. Once he leaves the hive, Barry is caught in the rain and stays inside an apartment for shelter to wait out the rain. He is nearly killed by some guy, and is only saved by a woman, played by Renee Sellweger, who Barry thanks, breaking one of the Bee Laws, no talking to humans.
The movie goes on and Barry winds up suing the human race for stealing honey from his species for centuries. That in turn allows the bees to stop working, as all the honey they'll ever need is supplied to them, causing all the flowers on earth to wilt due to lack of pollination. Barry saves the day by bringing the last flowers on earth to New York and having all the bees re-pollinate every other flower.
This movie was funny, and fun to watch. On the other hand, with all jokes made, about half of them were misses, but 50% is a pass. And the last couple of action sequences in the movie are INCREDIBLY ridiculous, planes held up by bees, a crazy colour alternating flower, and pollen healing the flowers instantly. Worth watching, a four out of six.
