Stop Aimlessly Scrolling on Netflix with this Hack!

Let’s say it’s Friday night. You’re scrolling through Netflix. You’re trying to find something to watch but you just CAN’T decide. You say to yourself while scrolling, “Do I want a forbidden romance movie or an apocalypse movie? What about a heist movie or a young-adult-trying-to-find-themselves movie? Or maybe I want a riveting courthouse drama??” After what seems like ages you come to a solution...

You put on a random episode of The Office for the millionth time.

What if I told you, you can watch all those movies AT ONCE, and ditch the safety net of rewatching The Office again?

I bring you the 2007 Dreamworks hit animated movie:

BEE MOVIE

Throw aside the memes. Ignore the outdated animation. Let’s look at the Bee Movie for what it's really worth: it’s plot. It truly has everything you are looking for in a movie but in one place.

Act One: Young Adult Trying-to-find-Themselves Movie

Enter Barry B. Bensen. Recent college graduate who isn’t sure that the bee life's for him. Like most young adult movies his big fear in life is...monotony. Enter his foil of a best friend Adam Flayman who like the boring bee lifestyle. Ironically Adam is played by Matthew Broderick which gives the first 20 minutes of the movie a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off vibe, but now Broderick is the Cameron of the relationship.

Barry is awed by the world of the Pollen Jock (bees who collect pollen) where everyday is a new day unlike the hive. The Pollen Jocks give him a chance to leave the hive and let’s just say history was changed that day. The beginning of this movie sets us up for a beautiful coming of age story.

Act Two: Forbidden Romance

Once Barry leaves the hive he is confronted with all the dangers of the outside world especially HUMANS. When one saves his life, he begins to fall in love with her. This interspecies romance gives us the “will they or won’t they” tension to rival the likes of Rachel and Ross throughout the entire movie. They have have coffee. He has weird romance dreams about her. They run errands together where Barry discovers that humans sell honey.

Act Three: Courtroom Drama

Barry then straight up SUES the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE for stealing honey from the bees so we are launched into the Courtroom Drama of the decade (Sorry Erin Brockovich). Barry almost loses the case but is able to find the piece of evidence to really put the final nail on this case: smoke. Bees don’t smoke but humans make them! What a win for Bee-kind!

Act Four: Alternative Future Apocalypse

This win causes the bees to stop making honey since they now have enough to last them for years. Therefore, flowers are not being pollinated and the entire food chain has been destroyed. It is the end of the human race as we know it. AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE FREAKING OUT?!? VANESSA IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SEEING THE LAST ROSE BOWL THAN YA KNOW TRYING TO HELP HUMANS SURVIVE??? But that’s what leads us to the next act so they writers know what they are doing here and I trust their judgement.

Act Five: The Heist

So Vanessa and Barry pull up to the Rose Bowl like its goddamn Ocean’s 11 ready to steal a float, bring it back to New York City, and to save the world. They legitimately let a girl fall to her death because they are not playing around people, the entire human race is at stake. They bust out of there like Vin Diesel in the Fast and the Furious and drive the float back to the airport.

Act Six: Miracle Story

On the plane Barry accidentally knocks the pilot and co-pilot out because they still freak out when a bee talks even though Barry was all over the news like 2 days ago and like that would be a game changer for everyone if we learned bees could talk, but again the writers know what they are doing here. ANYWAYS, Barry and Vanessa then have to safely land the plane full of people but most importantly: the human saving flowers. So it’s basically Airplane! now but with less humor and a sh*t ton of bees. So Barry, Vanessa, and 2,748,816 bees who come to help safely land the plane. (Yes I did the math of how many bees would it take to be able to carry the plane. Shout out to IMPDB, International Movie Plane Database, for being able to identify the model of the plane so my calculations could be 100% accurate.)

Act Seven: Conclusion

Barry saves the world, becomes a part-time lawyer and pollen jock, while Vanessa continues to live it up as a florist. Are they dating? It’s unclear but Vanessa’s ex-boyfriend says at the end “That bee is living MY life!” so I’m going to say yeah. It’s a happy ending for everyone (except Ken and the girl Barry murdered to steal the flowers).

So the next time you are on Netflix and you can’t decide what to watch, just watch the Bee Movie. It literally has every good movie plot wrapped into one sweet yellow and black package. JUST THINK BEE!

Thanks Jerry Seinfeld for writing a true classic!!!💛🐝
