“From creator Jerry Seinfeld comes “Bee Movie,” a comedy that will change everything you thought you knew about bees. Take a close look at the world through the eyes of one bee in particular- Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld). A recent college graduate, Barry wants more out of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City- a job at Honex.. making honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meets a quirky florits named Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom- he talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a guided crash course in the ways of the human race. When he shockingly discovers that anyone can purchase honey right off the grocery store shelf, he realizes that his true calling is to stop this injustice and set the world right by suing the human race for stealing the bees’ precious honey. ”

I watched this the other night, and thought it was a perfect film for anyone. It’s full of cute bee/human humor, and you can’t help but smile throughout the movie. I especially adored the songs they picked throughout the movie, one of my favorites was (Sugar, Sugar) by The Archies.

One of the clips from the movie included Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld), and Vanessa the florist (Renee Zellweger), walking down the street together just talking.

Vanessa: Why don’t you just fly everywhere? Isn’t it faster?
Barry B. Benson: Because flying gets very tiring. Why don’t you humans just run everywhere, isn’t that faster?
Vanessa: I see your point.

The movie is Rated PG for mild suggestive humor, and a brief depiction of smoking.

“If you’ve pulled out an animated film that makes both the kids and the big kids laugh, you’ve done a good job. The more we see of ‘Bee Movie’, the more it seems that this could be another one of those gems.”
