Review of Bee Movie (2007) by Kana U — 22 May 2012
A charmless and hideous cascade of hallucinatory monkey business, so ludicrous and uncreative it's almost depressing. It's obvious Seinfeld poured all that was left of his schtick into the story, thinking it would be his big comeback, and was returned only a bizarre failure for his efforts.
Coating the nastiness in bee puns doesn't help, and neither do any of the other stupid Dreamworks tricks the filmmakers tried. Some of the cheap gags (for example, corporate lawyer as sleazy and irritating Southern hick) would be cruel by themselves, but more so when they're peppered in a senseless and irredeemably ridiculous scene (a bee's lawsuit against the human race).
