With a 49% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Bee Movie is much better received than most of the movies we've watched for the pod. The production value is good and there's an all-star cast (including several cameos from A-listers like Oprah and Sting), but it's just...weird. Renee Zellweger's character (Vanessa Bloome, a florist 😐) isn't very interesting or likeable, but, eh, she's probably good enough to be a bee's love interest? If you like bee puns, human-bee-human love triangles, and Jerry Seinfeld jokes, but coming from a bee, this is the movie for you. There are actually a couple of pretty funny parts, but the overall strangeness of it all is what makes it a good watch with friends, and preferably a drink or three.
