Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I really don’t know what to make of this one. I thought the trailer was okay, but not great, and I’m always a little nervous about Dreamworks Animation. They’ve made some good movies, but I don’t think they’ve made anything yet that is just a bona-fide classic. I don’t know this spy, so I can’t tell you how much stock to put in his reaction. Take it for what its worth with an untested source:

Heya there Harry and the people of "AICN". Is you use this review, call me "There Will Be Blood".

A few nights ago I caught a special screening of the CGI-ANIMATED film "Bee Movie". With Jerry Seinfeld as the star. As a disclaimer, we were told that only 80% of the work was done and what we were seeing was not the final theatrical version of this film. This is normal and I've been through it for a long time, in-fact, everytime I got to a screening. Thats exactly what I'm told. To not jump right into the review, I'd like to add that the movie itself is an excellent piece of work and created solely for the purpose of an 9+ year old basis. Any child younger may not get the jokes provided.

Now onto the review thus self.

"Bee Movie" proves to viewers that there are still storylines out in the universe that are actually worth telling an audience. Although some of those storylines are fractured and need repairing, they're still worth telling them for the children. And thats exactly what Bee Movie is. A fractured, but worth a peek movie. Getting my hopes up for a Jerry Seinfeld movie is a slim to none chance. I've never been a big fan of his work and I only liked SEINFELD because of the soup Nazi. (Who, I met and got spit on by, CRAZY GERMANS!). Anyway, when you first hear wind of this movie. You go; "Damnit. Another pixar fucking animation movie that has another boring comedian".

Thats not true with this film, at all. Jerry Seinfeld is a good comedian. He knows how to make you laugh at the wierdest moments and yet you feel that quesy feeling inside from his jokes. His character in the movie, Barry B. Benson, is just that. A funny, light-hearted bee who hopes to be something other than his desired parents wish. And all comedies follow this suit, a rebelious daughter or son who hopes for something more than what they're given. Its a classic suite and don't be surprised as Bee Movie checks in. But thats what also makes the movie quite amazing. The animation is supperb, and paying attention to the finer details of the animation is what they've done here.

Now; Lets jump into the story here. Barry B. Benson is born at the start of the movie to pround parents, smiling, glad they've had a son as a bee. We stop as he's born, a photograph is taken, it fades to the backround as a sweet narration fills the theater floor. The narration begins to explore the BEE ancestry. Telling us that every bee must attend school and learn to work in the honey hives, every bee must do this. Its not normal for a bee to feel left out and thats what we see with Barry. As the narration begins to follow Barry's story, the narration becomes softer, explaining to us that Barry was always different. They show a class photo with Barry wearing LARGE glass's while the other kids have tatoos and act like gangsta's. Finally, while we reach the end of the narration, we see Barry just graduating from college.

His parents "Buzz" with joy, leaping up into the air, cheering for they're son. Barry gets up to the podium, says a rather funny Seinfeld Stylish-Speech and finally graduates. While at they're feast, celebrating there sons graduation, Barry's father can't wait to express how happy he is for his son and how he'll carry out the legacy of bee hivers. Working the hives and how he'll have a son some day. Barry nods along for his father, but you can obviously see a frustration in Barry. His mother knows this, but doesn't want to tell her husband (Barry's father). To pause for a moment, one thing you'll have to know is Seinfelds humour. He doesn't go for the obvious joke as you'd expect, he holds out for the less-obvious jokes and thats a good plan and works well with the movie. Now back to the storyline.

As Barry is one day considering his life, he worries that he'll never be able to accomplish what he wants to, and being a HIVE WORKER is not something he sets as a goal. Deeply, his mother understands this, comforting her son at every chance she gets. One morning, after getting fed-up with his life, Barry travels far from home. Dodging through forests and eventually landing in NEW YORK. Stunned by the moving vehicles and top-notch buildings, BARRY flies into the city in-which he almost gets killed by a newspaper, Which belongs to our love interest VANESSA. As Barry hitches a ride in her purse, he discovers at her home she jars of HONEY and our case arrives.

The movie overall is fantastic. Good CGI. Funny Humor, and a part including "The Truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" Bee-Style. Another interesting and a laugh-riot part is when Barry is already taking the case up in the court and he hires this Schlum Jewish Lawyer. Later on in the story, we meet a MOSQUITO (Voiced by Chris Rock) but he's wasted in this role and bears no potential storyline whatsoever. Word to the wise and parents. An excellent film and definite laugh-riot. There’s also many cameos by famous people/directors. Barry Levison has a cameo/appearance thats overall very funny. There’s alot more people I didn’t recognize as a voice until I got home and looked up the film.

There’s many cameos also “Bee Makers” and Manafacturers. The storyline is priceless and well-handled for a childs comedy. Harry and the gangs over at AICN. If you have children, take them to see this film. Its so funny, so imaginitve and so inventive, that I might just go see it again. Thank you all for reading this review if it used, sorry if it was long. Hopefully it was worth the write!

Until Next Time!

Sincerely,

There Will Be Blood.
