22 - Bee Movie: Mister Bee Goes to Washington...and Destroys the World

The Rabbit Fighters put on their best striped sweaters and fly high over Manhattan with The Pollen Jocks in this strangely misguided 2007 Dreamworks animated film crafted by Jerry Seinfeld and Steven Spielberg. Jerry Seinfeld plays Barry B Benson, a recent graduate of bee college. His family wants him to be a humble honey-stirrer, like his father. But Barry yearns for life outside the hive! So he sneaks out and discovers the world of humans. Over the course of 90 minutes, he manages to: Win the love of a human florist played by Renee Zellweger Enrage the florist's boyfriend, played by the David Puddy guy Take humanity to court for stealing honey...and WIN Disparage both Sting AND Ray Liotta on the witness stand Ruin the world's flowering plants RESTORE the world's flowering plants Land an airplane propelled by millions of bees Open a florist shop/law firm with the florist and Chris Rock the mosquito And Jerry Seinfeld and Steven Spielberg manage to steal 90 minutes of your wild and precious life.
