I would rather Bee anywhere else
The Ryeview
There’s this movie that’s a blatant rip-off of the “Bee Movie” called “Plan Bee”. This movie looks like it was rendered on a Nintendo 64. The characters are scary-looking monsters, spawned from the deepest crevices of Hell. The backgrounds are poorly rendered jpegs of Washington D.C., not to mention the movie’s plot is super stupid.
Bing is a worker bee and the leader of a team of other bees, including: a gluttonous bee who eats a lot of the honey the bees produce, Zips, a bee incapable of speech or making any intelligible noise, some other bee that gets eaten by a toad at the Washington Monument, and lastly, a snobby bee who reluctantly eats out of a dumpster. When the bees retrieve nectar from flowers, they use their weird tongues that look like meat-tubes that pulsate.
The hive they work in has a new, ruthless queen who only cares about getting honey made, and not the bee’s well-being (which is something we have in common). She overworks the bees, making them amp-up production on honey and expanding the hive to accommodate for all the new honey.
The old queen and a bee that failed to serve her try to teach Bing about what a good leader George Washington is because “He could have been a king but chose democracy instead.” They go into why democracy is cool twice in this movie, and it serves literally no purpose at all. The bees eventually overthrow the mean queen, Zips gets shanked nine times, and then they put the old queen back in charge with only a “Haha, we’re all fine,” and then the movie is over.
Like I said, this is a “Bee Movie” rip-off. “Bee Movie” had a charm that this movie lacked; being so bad that it’s good. This movie is so horrible that it’s horrible. The first 30 minutes were absolutely dreadful, but for the last 20 minutes it seemed like the makers just stopped caring and put just about anything in there.
This is the absolute worst movie I’ve ever seen. I want to lie down in the back-alley behind a Chuck E. Cheese and await death. I give it a point-three outta ten.
