    Its something of a coup that Jerry Seinfeld has managed to mangle together 90 minutes worth of semi-decent bee jokes... read more on Time Out

    the first movie i wanted to walk out of in a long time...

    i know it's a kids movie, but normally i love kids movies! this film was just terrible, so ridiculous in every way that it stopped being funny and just provoked feelings of hatred towards the creators... the scene that really did it for me was when lots of bees managed to carry a jumbo jet so that it landed safely, then the bees miraculously pollinate all of new york- which is great - but what about the rest of the world?? They tried to mix tongue in cheek adult comedy with children's comedy, and where that has worked in the past (like Shrek), this one completely failed.

    It had the potential to be quite a good film, but in comparison to films like Shrek and Finding Nemo it doesn't stand a chance

    Bee Movie stays top of US chart

    • 13 Nov 2007

    Animated comedy Bee Movie proved a hit this week with American audiences as it stayed at the top of the US box office chart. Estimates from AC Nielsen put the Jerry Seinfeld movie in first place, after taking $26 million over the weekend. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in American Gangster occupied second place, while a new entry, Fred Claus, debuted at number three. The film stars Paul Giamatti and Vince Vaughn and could be a great holiday choice when it is released in the UK. Lions for... Read more
