Critics Consensus

Bee Movie has humorous moments, but its awkward premise and tame delivery render it mostly forgettable.

Alonso Duralde

MSNBC

[T]his comedy provides sporadic chuckles but, you'll pardon the expression, drones on for much of its running time.

Rated: 2/5

What distinguishes this better than half-decent comedy is its detailed insight into the bee brain

Seinfeld the professional cynic has become Seinfeld the environmental crusader. Who'd have thunk it?

Deep Focus Review

Seinfeld's brand of observational humor is in full force, only imbued with more imagination and irony when applied to the bee world.

Rated: 3/4

While the premise is unique, the approach is generic.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

This is one of DreamWorks most stupid movies ever!!! The premise makes no sense, and worst of all, it preaches to you about something that's not even a real-world problem!! I left feeling grouchy and with no substance to take with me.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
