Bee Movie
Claudia PuigBee Movie gets a D. It's so unfunny it almost stings. "I never meant it to turn out like this," laments Barry B. Benson (voiced by Jerry Seinfeld), a well-meaning bee, referring to disastrous consequences that arise from questioning humans profiting from honey. You can't help but wonder if Seinfeld expressed a similar lament after seeing the finished product of his first venture into animated films. Based on the patter he comes up with for his character's shtick, Seinfeld seems to have devolved from the witty observer of human nature we saw on TV into a bad Catskills comic. Lines like "What do you think, buzzy boy? Are you bee enough?" have little to offer. Bad puns abound. During a graduation ceremony, Barry notes: "There's a lot of p...
Bee Movie
Todd McCarthyAmiable but no more, Bee Movie puts a hiveful of potent talent at the service of a zig-zigging, back-of-an-envelope story that's short on surprise and originality. Long sought for animation work, producer-writer-star Jerry Seinfeld contents himself with whimsical notions and mild jokes in creating an independent-minded bee who breaks with protocol to forge a relationship with a human, to less than inspired results. Seinfeld's name, a huge push by Paramount/DreamWorks Animation and venture's mainstream innocuousness should combine for sweet if not blockbuster B.O.
Seinfeld's patented quirky humor does lend this cross-pollinating tale a distinctive personality, one notably less crass and pandering than that found in such other DreamWorks toons as Shark...
Quirky laughs keep a downright peculiar mixture palatable.
Barry B. Benson, a bee who breaks all the rules of bee society by talking to and befriending Vanessa (a florist appropriately), is appalled to discover the honey industry and takes the human race to court.
What would a bee think of bee keeping? OK- there's probably a joke there but a film? Come to that this film got its start when Jerry Seinfeld joked to Steven Spielberg that someone could make a film about bees and call it Bee Movie. No I didn't exactly fall about laughing either but Seinfeld's sitcom was famously a show about nothing so, if anyone can develop a feature from a couple of so-so jokes, he's your man and he does. Just.
It's a film that doesn't seem sure who it's aimed at. References to The Graduate and Jewish families (“is s...
