Unbelievably Entertaining: Bee Movie

Bee Movie (Advance Screening)
Directed by Steve Hickner and Simon J. Smith
To be released November 2, 2007

This new animated comedy is infinitely better than the incessant previews indicate. It is overflowing with mature humor and a wonderful adventure feel to the whole thing. Who thought there could be so many jokes about bees without getting old right away? But there are. This can certainly withstand comparison to recent animated successes like "Ratatouille", "Cars", "Finding Nemo", and "Monsters, Inc" in terms of quality. Jerry Seinfeld and Renee Zellweger provide fabulous voices for the great lead characters. Any film that mixes family-friendly fun with biting mockeries of Sting, Larry King, and Ray Liotta without missing a step earns a place on my best films of the year list.

B+
