Bee Movie

My nephew was going to this with his Dad, and asked if I would go too. Thus we were all in a great mood and low expectations. My pet peeve is the high rating Family movies get from kids. I looked around; the average kid in the theatre I was watching in should not be giving this move an 8, like it is being reviewed by kids here. After the first 10 minutes of every the Bee clichés you can think, the thing really slowed down to a crawl with endless dialogue and too much plot for the kids. Their restlessness yelled 5 out of 10 to me. I thought the movie started on a very bad foot by citing a misquoted notorious sound bite about the secret to bees flying. Thing is, that sound bite is WRONG! And I thought great, if they can’t get the starting facts right, what’s the rest of the writing going to be? We will have a whole new generation of kids perpetuating misinformation. Chris Rock’s Cameo is great. I would have loved to see that character more. No, expected it as he gets full billing in the marketing of the movie. He is listed ahead of most of the main voices. Rene did a good job. Jerry, however, did nothing for me.
