The connection of a talking bee with a human girlfriend was too ludicrous to be entertaining, as were the courtroom scenes. Kudos for that, but there are just too many dumb parts in this story. As for the story, for a film with a lot of politically-correct messages, stereotypical characters, Liberal icons plugged, etc., it was surprising to see a commonsense 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' conclusion. That said, it was still fun to watch with some humorous drawings in the background that you have to watch for quickly.
It just isn't up to some of the truly funny animated films of the past few years. The animation and story might be something kids will still enjoy but most of the gags fall flat for adults, although it does have a few clever things in it. For this one, I'd say this is not a film adults will run out and buy: rent - yes/maybe purchase - no. My reviews on animated movies are what I thought of it as an adult, and how adults would relate to it.
'Mildly amusing' is probably the best description of this recently-released (on DVD) animated feature.
