Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Given the amount of talent involved - Renée Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, Rip Torn, and Seinfeld himself - it all feels like a terrible waste.

Seinfeld the professional cynic has become Seinfeld the environmental crusader. Who'd have thunk it?

Rating: 3/4 --
A consistently amusing bit of animated whimsy from funnyman Jerry Seinfeld that has the observational comic's fingerprints all over it.

The hyperactive comic randomness is deadening

3 stars out of 5 -- There are child-friendly puns, but it's also crammed with Seinfeld's trademark observational humour.
Empire
BEE MOVIE is agreeably skewed fun....The images have a spangly clarity -- they make New York look new again... -- Grade: A-

Product Description:
Touted as Jerry Seinfeld's first major project since the 1998 end of his long-running eponymous TV series, 2007's computer-animated BEE MOVIE stars the popular comedian as the voice of Barry B. Benson, a young bee eager to explore the world outside of his hive. As he discovers how people live in New York City, he befriends a human florist, Vanessa Bloome (Renee Zellweger), and becomes outraged at the selling of honey, leading to a lawsuit and, of course, plenty of Seinfeldian misadventures.
Helmed by directors Steve Hickner (THE PRINCE OF EGYPT) and Simon J. Smith (a member of the SHREK creative team), BEE MOVIE lightens Seinfeld's notoriously stinging humor for a family audience, while staying true to its inherent New York-bred quirkiness. This leaves room for the film to feature impressive (if anatomically incorrect) bug-oriented CGI animation and a solid supporting cast that includes Zellweger, Matthew Broderick, John Goodman, Chris Rock, and Ray Liotta (who plays a honey-peddling animated version of himself). Although it inhabits some of the same insect-populated territory as A BUG's LIFE and ANTZ, BEE MOVIE also nods to THE GRADUATE (admittedly a Seinfeld favorite) in its restless protagonist, resulting in a playful and thoroughly entertaining film that even manages to work an environmental message into its colorful palette.
