There’s been a lot of hype about Jerry Seinfeld’s new animated project Bee Movie. He stepped out of the limelight after Seinfeld and came back with vengeance to promote Bee Movie, and for good reason. It’s funny.

Starring Jerry Seinfeld as Barry, a bee who decides to venture out of the hive after learning he’ll only have one job for the rest of his life (approximately 9 days), Renee Zellweger as Vanessa, a human florist who saves Barry and ultimately becomes his friend and Matthew Broderick, a bee who is Barrys sidekick and confidante. It also boasts a few other familiar voices like Patrick Warburton best known as David Puddy on Seinfeld, John Goodman, Chris Rock, Cathy Bates and Barry Levinson.

This is a funny movie, and a good one to bring Jerry Seinfeld back in the public eye. The best part was listening to the parts of the movie the kids in the theater thought was funniest (hint: anything that explodes). It’s a sarcastic and informative look at bee’s in a sweet and hilarious way that no one has ever looked at a bee. The parallel from human to animated bee is there, trust me.

The only bad thing I have to say about this movie is the plot. The plot of Bee Movie kind of acts as a bee would act. It’s zippy, twists and turns in the wrong directions and the main plot kind of comes out of no where. It really doesn’t make much sense. But it’s a sweet movie with a great message. BEE true to yourself, and bee’s shouldn’t stop making honey, ever.

Bee Movie gets 4/5 LJ Stars. . .and yes I’m aware my husband will kill me for that as he is a Seinfeld fanatic.
