I was thoroughly entertained in this lively burst of nonsense that has little agenda except to amuse

... may not be "about nothing," but it is not about much more than the puny pun in the title.

...tries mightily to be cute and cuddly, and in this regard it succeeds...at least for kids.

Seinfeld's pleasingly idiosyncratic comic voice comes through in the haphazard, slaphappy storyline. [Blu-Ray]

[T]his comedy provides sporadic chuckles but, you'll pardon the expression, drones on for much of its running time.

Bland, watered-down Seinfeld-ian humor for kids, amusing at best, grating at worst.

Without a particularly strong storyline and loaded with only modestly enjoyable gags, it putts along like a familiar old jalopy, reasonably likeable if eminently forgettable.

Bee Movie is a solid mix of comforting gags, clever language and a meandering plot that doesn't seem to have enough gas to stretch out into a full feature.

never sappy, often clever, and always great to look at. In short the perfect vehicle to keep the kiddies (and their adults) amused while getting across a well-framed message about species interdependence

Bee-boundaries are so last-year and fans are likely to understand it in Seinfeldian-hysterical terms. To the rest of us it's an overstretched been-there, seen-that concept.

I can't believe I'm going to say it, but this film is as busy as a bee.

Dreamworks Animation is not Pixar, no matter how hard it tries. Dreamworks' animated films lack the sort of effortless charm, animated grace and satirical wit that Pixar seems to generate instinctively.
02/28/08
Bee Movie is a light, moderately entertaining romp. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

What distinguishes this better than half-decent comedy is its detailed insight into the bee brain
