"A giddy, freewheeling, clever, delightful animated romp 'about nothing,' a thing onto itself, the very definition of existential phenomenon." -- Entertainment Insiders

Bee Movie (2007)52%

"The film as a whole is a failure, but additionally, it's also a mess of unedited or badly edited scenes." -- Entertainment Insiders
