Plot Summary: "Bee Movie" is a comedy that will change everything you think you know about bees. Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice – honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees' honey for centuries, and ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey.

I will never watch this movie. I had 1% interest before the marketing onslaught. That number is now negative.

Ugh, seriously. If I have to see another short clip of the making of the stupid Bee movie commercial during the The Office, I might have to go postal on someone.

Trust me, I've seen plenty (Clifford's Big Day, Barbie and the Enchanted Princess, etc) and I'd watch them all in a row before Bee Movie.

:) Yes, but when you child looks up at you with those big, sad eyes & says, "Daddy, PLLLEEEEAAASSSEEE take me to see Bee Movie?"

No way in hell you're saying no. Your kids are SO going to have you wrapped around their little fingers...

Yeah, I know. I was just trying to take a stand. lol

I'd already do anything for Erin, so these kids are going to rule the roost.

I have a sneaking suspicion we are going to have 2-3 girls. :thud:

Ready, Go!

:D Nothing wrong with having 3 girls!

Yeah, you're going to totally be the dad that talks the big talk, but is really just a big softy. Nothin' wrong with that, either. ;)

*shudder* Better learn to love Pixar and whoever else makes this crap. I think I have about 4 years left before I have to worry about children. I support you in your stand. :thumbup:

So yeah.

It was terrible.

I know that generally the voice actors do not record together, but the fake chemistry was terrible. There wasn't any. It was stiff and hollow.

The movie wasn't funny at all.

I didn't get to watch it when it came out and my wife decided it was worth the $22 price tage at Alco. Thanks wife.

I thought it was good... but not great.

There were some very funny scenes. The tennis scene in slo-mo, the pollen jocks, and the bugs on the windshield.

Still, anyone with kids would love this movie. As far as the marketing goes..... Didn't see much of it other than the obnoxious outfit Jerry wore in some trailers.
