"Bee Movie" (
Rated PG for mild suggestive humor, and a brief description of smoking; 90 min.) From the creators of "Seinfeld" and starring Jerry Seinfeld as Barry B. Benson, "Bee Movie" is an animated "Rebel Without a Cause" - except Barry B. Benson has a cause. After graduating college he decides to throw off the yoke of his predetermined life and fly with the ace pollinators. He ends up making friends with Vanessa, played by Rene Zellweger. His foray into the human world also shows him that his species is exploited by the humans, who steal the honey to (gasp!) sell! Obviously he has learned a thing or two, however, because he decides to sue the human race. A wonderful animated tale for the whole family, with laughs that will be appreciated by old and young alike.
Thurs. Nov. 29, 7:30 p.m. Fri. Nov. 30, Sat. Dec. 1, Sun. Dec. 2, 5 p.m.
