Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld) is not a conformist like other bees. He yearns for something more, and that yearning leads him out of the hive into the world. After almost getting killed, he is saved by Vanessa (Zellweger), a human that owns a flower shop. She is surprised that Barry can talk, but then they develop a friendship. Accompanying her to the grocery store, he discovers that humans are stealing honey from bees and decides to file a lawsuit against the human race

“Bee Movie” is an odd but enjoyable film. The humor is geared more toward grown ups, but is flashy and eye catching which will appeal to kids. Also, there is no real moral to the story that is applicable to kids. Yet, somehow “Bee Movie” works. Fans of Jerry Seinfeld will not be disappointed in the humor he brings to the film. The voice talents do decent jobs bringing their characters to life. “Bee Movie” is a nice movie that will provide enjoyment for kids and adults.
