Hmmm… guess I’ll have to watch Happy Feet now!

APALA: That fact about vanishing bees is scary, man!

Shyam: “Heavy”? I thought it was no heavier than something like Happy Feet, which got all tangled up with global warming and such.

Ravi K: Yeah, the lack of toilet humour was refreshing — not that there’s anything wrong with that

Prashanth: Well… turn the page.

This was a very entertaining film. It was funny and clever, and it wasn’t 90 minutes of toilet humor or references/recreations of recent pop culture touchstones. Surprisingly for such a film, much of the humor is rapid-fire verbal, though OTOH Seinfeld is behind this, so maybe its not that surprising.

Now when will Larry David make an animated film?

Yep, the movie is worth watching once for the gags… but it was a bit heavy for an animated flick.

Saw the movie months ago – when it was relased in US.

Well, I thought there is a little bit of too much happening here, especially coming from a man who made an entire television series about “nothing” (which I have seen quite a few times and became huge fan!).

But the topic is so relevant with the news of BEE STRIKE coming from all over the world!! (News Item: Billions of bees have vanished without a trace, leaving the crop fields they are supposed to pollinate, and scientists are mystified about why. First noticed late last year in the United States, disappearing bees also have been reported in Europe and Brazil).
But you can not blame Seinfield for that!!!

(It was interesting watching his interview on TV! He said he was invited by Steven Spielberg (his neighbour, BTW) for a dinner in a restaurant where he told steve, “They should make a movie about BEES and call it “The Bee Movie”!!! Steve looked at him and said, “You should do it”!! Seinfiled said – while laughing – “All that I had was the title”!!!

With all the advance buzz – I felt a little let down when the end credits rolled!! But still I would give the Bee movie a SOLID “B”!!
