Bee Movie marks Jerry Seinfeld's return to the public eye. Many years have passed since the shuttering and dismantling of the Seinfeld sets. One could safely assume that the gang was released from their series finale incarceration and have gone on and resumed their life of nothing. While the other cast members have gone on to other projects, with widely varied results, Jerry resisted the return to the small screen or the lure of the big screen.
So what does he finally choose as his return vehicle? A movie about bees. That's right, bees. Seems to be an odd choice for his comeback, but so be it; so long as it's fun! Jerry got together with veterans of the television series and turned out this look into bee society. The end result is a zippy conglomeration of new and stale jokes filtered through Seinfeld's observational humor. This is a film that kids will enjoy but adults' enjoyment will be based on how much they like Jerry Seinfeld's comedy.
I like Bee Movie. However, the further away I get from the screening the more it seems to slip. It has leveled off to an "acceptable" rating, but there is no denying that I was more enthusiastic about the movie as I was walking from the theater than I am as I sit down to write this review. As I watched the movie I felt there was something a little bit off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I was caught up in the nicely rendered animation and the vibrant yellows that infected the palette. On top of that, the script is littered with the expected Seinfeldian quips delivered the way only Jerry can deliver them. Fortunately, I like his comedy.
Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld) is a young bee preparing to enter the work force, although he is a little disturbed by the prospect of one job for life. You see, Barry wants to explore the world a little before being forced to settle down. So, Barry takes up the sarcastic offer of a "pollen jock" — you know the type, kind of like the sports celebrities of bee society — to go on a mission outside the hive.
