Even the jokes were lame with most being bee jokes including ones featuring cameos from Ray Liotta and Sting.

There's no concrete theme or storyline in this film as it seemed to have a limited attention span. At first, it seemed like it would evoke themes that "The Graduate" did and would pull parallels to that film, but then the lawsuit happened and I just lost all interest. However, once Barry meets Vanessa, it all went downhill fast. Even when he ventured outside the hive, I was on board as the idea of being a bug reminded me of "A Bug's Life". At first, I was interested as I liked the creativity of the hive Barry was in and what he was trying to do for his job. I have no idea what it was trying to go for. However, despite the film's resurgence on the Internet and the talent behind the film including "Prince of Egypt" director, Steve Hickner, this film didn't work for me.

He even brought onboard several cast and crew members from his hit TV show, "Seinfeld" to work on the film. It emerged as something huge which really came to a surprise to Jerry Seinfeld who not only starred, but also produced, and wrote the film. The internet has been known for giving movies a second life and this film is no different. Angered at this, he sues the honey industry in hopes to get justice for bees and from there, a string of wild and miscalculated events unfold. However, Barry's trouble gets bigger when he discovers humans have been taking honey from hives and selling it. After a violent encounter with Ken and Vanessa saving his life, Barry decides to talk to the latter which is a major bee law that cannot be broken. Wanting to do more before going to his job, he ventures outside the hive and ends up encountering a human named Vanessa (Rene Zellweger), a florist from New York who has a crazy boyfriend named Ken (Patrick Warburton). However, Barry learns that he is about to get a job for the rest of his life and work until he drops dead like other bees, a practice that has been done for millions of years. To put it lightly, it's a mess.Ī bee named Barry (Jerry Seinfeld) has just finished school and he and his best friend Adam (Matthew Broderick) are about to get jobs in the hive. While I can get some laughs from the phenomenon, the actual film itself isn't very special. It exploded and was the talk of the Internet for a while. Then nine years later, the Internet turned it into a meme and it became a crazy phenomenon. The movie came out and then afterward was mostly forgotten. When it came out in 2007, the animated film from DreamWorks wasn't a huge critical or commercial hit. I could make a whole review describing the random second life this film had, but I'll keep it short. Though one of the strangest cases of a film getting a second life was "Bee Movie". A few examples include "Lady and the Tramp", "A Goofy Movie", and "The Princess and the Frog". Even animated movies have been known to get a second life and become widely respected when they were either initially criticized by critics upon release or failed at the box office. It's common for movies to get a second life after their initial theatrical release.
