Took the kids to see "Bee Movie" this afternoon at the dollar theatre.
My review: "At least we didn't pay full price for the tickets."
I feel sorry for all the people who did.
I love Jerry Seinfeld but I should have known this movie would stink because none of the trailers/previews looked any good at all. Even the crappiest movies have great trailers/previews.
Most of the funny parts were aimed at adults. And were only slight chortles, not rip-roaring funny.
I didn't appreciate the "Bujesus" reference.
Funniest part -- for me -- was "Sting" taking the stand and having to defend his use of the name "Sting".
The accuser says, "Your real name is .... Gordon M. Sumner!"
The jury gasps in horror.
Sting later protests, "But it's just a prance-about-stage name".
I love that Sting has such a sense of humor and is able to poke fun at himself.
And I like Patrick Warburton who played "Putty" in the Seinfeld series; it was great to have him as a character in a movie with Jerry.
Aside from that, the movie mostly just had us scratching our heads, wondering what was the point.
You got me thinking that's Sting's real name. I'm not as versed in trivian musicology as you are, i see.
ReplyDeleteYep, Sting's real name is Gordon Sumner.
ReplyDeleteHis album "10 Summoner's Tales" was about his family - his father's death - and how it affected him.
Sumner comes from "Summoner".
But really, my baby sister is the expert on Sting. I just learned from her.
