      Agreeably skewed fun.

      Rolling Stone

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

      The A.V. Club

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

      ReelViews

      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."

      Chicago Tribune

      Much of this wordplay is clever, though there’s something off with the plotting.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Unfortunately, bees just aren't that funny...Nor is the odd story Seinfeld and his collaborators dreamed up very inspired.

      Variety

      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.

      No nectar of the gods this, but we can still be thankful that Bee Movie is a sweet morsel that's devoid of any jokes about bee farts and poop.
