Review:
What can I say about Bees that you likely can't tell from the title? Did you know that some place in South Africa started smuggling them into the US to terrorize people? Sure that sounds somewhat likely, but from there the bees begin to mutate and get smarter...and then the world it at stake!!! Bad accents and corny dialog well and obviously plot make it tolerable, but only on an "it's so bad it's nearly good" kinda way. The campy disco music when the bees are attacking is a definite plus...if only we could see the bees attacking instead of many shots of the sky. If you like bad films for comedic purposes this does work...some of the time. It's just too bad this is so boring most of the time because it is kind of hard to sit through. Not recommended, but if it sounds like your kind of thing, it likely is!
