Bee Movie

What have people hear about this?:)

I have already seen it at a free sneak preview this week. The publicity on it makes it out to be the funniest movie ever because it's Seinfeld. However, if you've seen any of the trailers or commercials, you've already heard about 90 % of the best material, so it's not as effective as it could have been from a comedy standpoint. There is one brief surprise cameo that is pretty good; I don't want to spoil it by saying who it is.

Do you think a group of 11 to 15 year old boys would like it? I have a big bunch of them staying at my house tommorow!

Watch the trailers and you'll have a real sense of the movie.

IMO, older boys would be more into an action movie than this. As such, I'd get a copy of Spiderman 3 and let them have at it.

Robots was a funnier animated movie than Bee Movie, not that the latter is bad, but it doesn't live up to the hype. For example, Chris Rock's character is in the movie all of two minutes in two scenes, one you can view online in the commercials, the other is very quick. Overall, it's a film that mainly entertains the younger kids, and, to borrow from Seinfeld, not that there's anything wrong with that. The review in the Sun (http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/bal-to.bee02nov02,0,1964128.story) gets it right.
I don't think this film's computer-animated bees are as funny as Seinfeld thinks they are, but they do transfix youngsters who are at the age when a trip to the city park may feel like a journey to the great unknown

After the happily-ever-after ending, youngsters will applaud, but teens and adults will leave wondering, "O Seinfeld, where is thy sting?"

I took my 7 year old twins to see it yesterday. They were pretty quiet through the whole movie, which makes me think they liked it (but didn't love it).

As for me, I had the same reaction as the final episode of Seinfeld. Interesting, but I didn't laugh once.
