Movie Review: Bee Movie

I headed decided to head indoors to keep cool today and what better place than the movies. My plan with regards to movies at the moment is to see those that have been showing the longest first, and hopefully I get to see all the ones I want to.

It's an okay movie which the kids will love (the couple in front of me decided to bring their 3 children, 1 of which was still a baby which grizzled throughout the entire movie *grrr*) and it's something you can completely veg out to watch because it doesn't require any thinking on your part.

Plot: Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry B Benson (voice of Jerry Seinfeld), finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice – honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renee Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees’ honey for centuries, and ultimately realises that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey.

As a result, the bee and human communities get involved in ways they never had before, each one of them pointing a finger at the other. Barry gets caught up in the middle and finds himself with some very unusual problems to solve.
