‘Bee Movie': Stinging satire, jokes will fly over kids' heads

Unless there's a first-grader in the house intrigued by the perhaps-problematic changeover from socialism to capitalism, it's hard to imagine little ones enjoying the last half of "Bee Movie." That's just the tip of the honeycomb, with all the race, religion, class, courtroom and Hollywood humor.

"Bee Movie" isn't a flawless adaptation of Jerry Seinfeld's sometimes cynical, always obsessive takes on the trivial into an animated film equally enjoyable for everyone. The vibrant colors and fancy flights of the bumblebee can be universally appreciated, but its snappy banter and overall storyline is aimed more at those who hadn't yet met their spouse when "Seinfeld" ended its TV run.
