Bee Movie (2007)

This is one case where the trailers are FAR less interesting than the actual movie. The trailer made this look stupid, just another failed DreamWorks attempt to create a decent cartoon. The movie itself, however, was surprisingly funny, poking fun at courtroom dramas and heist movies, among other things. DreamWorks' chief problem has always been that they depend on pop culture references for their humor. The few movies they've done outside of that have been quite good. This one doesn't *quite* escape the pop culture madness, but it comes very close. 4 stars.
