Agreeably skewed fun.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie's not even close to Pixar standards - the animation is slapdash and the story construction's a mess - but the vibe is loose-limbed and fluky, and the gags have an extra snap that's recognizably Seinfeldian.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

At its relaxed best, when it's about, well, nothing, the slyly comic Bee Movie is truly beguiling.Read the full review

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

The real fun is the insect shtick.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

It's good to have Seinfeld back, even in this watered-down form.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

On the whole, this is another disappointing animated effort and it resides considerably lower on the totem pole than this year's current non-live action champion, "Ratatouille."Read the full review

Slate | Dana StevensAdd Critic to Favorites

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

All of this material, written by Seinfeld and writers associated with his television series, tries hard, but never really takes off.Read the full review

Variety | Todd McCarthyAdd Critic to Favorites

Amiable but no more, Bee Movie puts a hiveful of potent talent at the service of a zig-zigging, back-of-an-envelope story that's short on surprise and originality.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Carina ChocanoAdd Critic to Favorites

There's no real jeopardy. The stakes are low. It's a bee movie about nothing.Read the full review
