Seinfield's Mistake

The initial trailers for bee movie had Jerry Seinfield in a giant bee costume, hanging from a wire, swinging into a giant flower.  It made one wonder what in the world Seinfield was doing with his new movie career.

            Michael Hastings review of Bee Movie praises Seinfield’s achievements with TV and stand up comedy; however he questions his decision to write and act in Bee Movie.  When describing cartoon caricatures, which Seinfield is in the movie, he says, “the post-millennial refuge of the damned.”

            Hastings describes the plot of the movie as being, “so thudding and uncertain, that at any given moment it seems Bee Movie might be something else entirely.”  He is correct, when watching the movie one constatnly feels there may be a hidden plot that one cannot really understand. 

            During the movie it is very difficult to follow the constant scene changes.  Hastings mentions this when he says, “the action flashes from one location to the other.”

            Bee Movie was not a very good movie and it is very unclear what Seinfield was thinking when he decided to make this movie.  Hastings sums up the movie perfectly when he says, “he can hide behind a bee suit for only so long.”
