(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 33% Rotten Page   1   "Seinfeld's droll, witty observations add to the adult appeal of 'Bee Movie,' and youngsters will probably enjoy its eye-popping colors."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3.5/5 "While never as clever as it thinks it is, and lacking the internal logic that makes a Pixar project hum with indescribable brilliance, Bee Movie is still a witty, imaginative romp."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron C "Certainly Bee Movie could've been smarter, faster, and far cleverer, and it's disappointing to watch Seinfeld settle for less. For a man who made a mint reveling in comedic risk on a weekly basis, his first movie lacks serious sting."   DVDTalk.com   Brian Orndorf C- "Jerry Seinfeld's disappointing labor of animated-movie love is more of a lukewarm handholding experience than a full embrace."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "As its potential trans-species romance can never be consummated, the movie turns instead into a peculiarly balanced relationship comprised of financial and legal accord."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "Unless your idea of wit is an unrelenting stream of groan-inducing insect puns, "Bee Movie" offers little more than buzzkill."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "Relentlessly uneven yet basically entertaining..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "A snazzy-looking mixed bag. Kids will be diverted, adults will tolerate it, and all involved will be expecting something more imaginative than what Jerry Seinfeld has whittled together."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "It's a minor film. It'll be amusing once and then forgotten."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Begins warily as a mild chucker and then reveals itself to be an increasingly clever and very funny appreciation of a bee's existence."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 2/4 "A spelling bee. A busy bee. A killer bee. But a Seinfeld bee? Sorry Jerry, your hapless honey-seeking hero doesn't create much of an animated buzz."   World Voice News   Frank Ochieng C "Isn't quite as funny as The Swarm...neither frisky nor imaginative enough to merit even its short ninety-minute running time."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "On the whole, this is another disappointing animated effort and it resides considerably lower on the totem pole than this year's current non-live action champion, Ratatouille."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "Maybe it would have been better for Seinfeld to make an animated movie about nothing."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/10 "Bland, watered-down Seinfeld-ian humor for kids, amusing at best, grating at worst."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3.5/5 "Smarter than it is funny with delicious design."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery C "There will be more gags and puns in the reviews of press pundits than could be found in the entirety of this film, which fails to create a bee world of any logic or surprise."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/4 "Feels slight and attenuated, even at a brisk 82 minutes."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/3 "Está dirigida a los niños, en lugar a los que los crían, entre los que uno esperaría encontrar la mayoría de los fans de Seinfeld."   Off-Off-Critica   MalaBesta 2/4 "Compare this to the output of a studio like Pixar, and the movie really fits its title: a second-rate computer-animated comedy."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Not only are the bees nonsensical, so is the plot, even grading on the fantasy curve."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "Regardless of its PG rating, if you are a fan of Jerry Seinfeld's comedy style, then you will probably find a lot to like here. This is an incredibly witty film."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "Seinfeld's observational humor is relegated to the edges of a lightweight story."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "Jerry Seinfeld returns to the mainstream spotlight with Bee Movie, which proves as awkward and ineffective as George Costanza's attempts to wear a toupee."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "A falta de estrutura não é o único problema do roteiro, que ainda é prejudicado por diálogos pouco inspirados e pelo desenvolvimento descuidado de várias situações."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "Instead of gently skewering the conventions of contemporary animation, it simply follows them to a T"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "Enjoyable fun even if it's not particularly original."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B- ""Why do girls wear rings on their toes? It's like wearing a hat on your knee." Err, no, not really, Jer."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick D "Beyond its basic concept, Bee Movie hasn't the first idea where to go."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C "This curiously flat animated comedy simply doesn't have the sparkle one expects from a Jerry Seinfeld project."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "Bee Movie is a solid mix of comforting gags, clever language and a meandering plot that doesn't seem to have enough gas to stretch out into a full feature."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 4/4 "great fun"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "Bee Movie just lacks spirit and energy. Part of the problem may be that, as far as I'm concerned, any animated movie released this year (and possibly in years to come) suffers in comparison with Brad Bird's Ratatouille."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "Call it the curse of high expectations but with Jerry Seinfeld involved, laughs should flow like honey but they don't - unless you're really into bee puns."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 4/10 "Too confusing to be humorous."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 1/4 "Never funny, never meaningful, never coherent, never animated."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 33% Rotten Page   1
