Bee Movie Mr. Cranky's rating:
Thanks, Jerry, for coming down from your penthouse apartment and putting down your bottle of Bling H2O to pat us all on the head. We can all hope that after this debacle Seinfeld will no longer attempt to crawl out from the shadow of Larry David. If you recall, the last time Seinfeld was heard from was on Larry King (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZfUgVSfKdQ), where he revealed himself to be a pompous tool. In this episode, "Bee Movie", the idea for which Seinfeld reportedly came up with on the spot when he encountered Steven Spielberg at a dinner. He could have come up with anything-- "1941 2", a "Hook" remake, or something with aliens shot from low camera angles--but he said, "What about bees?". The theme of this film is, "I, Jerry Seinfeld, appreciate all you little people doing the little jobs that keep the world ("the world" meaning, New York City) humming, because without you, society would break down". It also implies that if everybody were wealthy, they'd all be lazy and unproductive, so thank goodness you're all living paycheck-to-paycheck. Thanks, Jerry, for coming down from your penthouse apartment and putting down your bottle of Bling H2O to pat us all on the head. Maybe Seinfeld has gotten too soft with his earlier success. His current wife Jessica could teach him a thing or two about being cut-throat. I mean, in the course of the last couple years, she dumped her prior rich husband for Seinfeld right after the honeymoon, then leveraged her newfound celebrity and plagiarized a cookbook into a best-seller. That's a woman who takes ruthless advantage of opportunities. And what was Seinfeld thinking when he has his "kids movie" spend half of its run time in a courtroom? The film overall has very little action and consists mostly of banter utilizing every bee pun the writers could think of. When I walked into the megaplex, the usher gave me the option of walking into one of two theaters, one showing Bee Movie and one involving my eyeballs being stung by angry killer bees. In retrospect, I made the wrong choice. --Scumby
Was it really that bad?
