Customer Reviews of The Bumblebee Flies Anyway

Absolutely amazing.
To be honest, I only watched this the first time with my friend because it had Elijah Wood in it. Then I realized it was so much more than Elijah; it was a story of life, and death, and love, and how the human spirit can triumph over greater odds. Beautifully acted and directed, and unlike most modern movies, it is stunning without any computer graphics and explosions. Instead of being nothing but eye candy (unless you count Elijah of course!) it is a movie that touched my heart and made me think about what would be going through my mind if I were in his place. The music is also wonderfully done, it fits the mood and stayed with me for two weeks after I saw the movie. The Bumblebee Flies Anyway is the only movie besides Lord of the Rings that has ever made me cry, and the only one that's made me cry three times in the space of an hour. An absolutely beautiful movie, and definitely a must-see.

A wonderful, thoughtful movie for all ages
I must admit that I only turned this movie on because I recognized the name from the list of movies that Elijah Wood had been in; after all, I don't think that I heard anything about it when it came out. But I was pleasantly surprised. I missed the first few minutes, but the rest of the movie left me so happy that I will be watching the full movie as soon as I can. Although some of the ideas in the movie; ie; bone cancer being able to be put into remission by the power of the mind alone, are a bit hard to beleive, the actors, notably Wood, don't let that show through. They are entirely convincing in their performances, and that makes everything work. I loved the interaction between Barney and Cassie in the movie; it really captured the essence of two people who love eachother, but know that something else more important must be addressed, first. The last thirty minutes of the movie are the best, and Wood really shows the uncertainty in Barney. Even in the last few minutes, I didn't know what he was going to decide. To lose his past, or his future? I will not ruin it, but the ending is as good as it could be. It's a great family film, with great acting by almost all of those involved. It can be slow in some parts, but it's worth it.

Touching and heartfelt
I rated this movie 4 out of 5 stars based mostly on the heart-touching quality of it. It doesn't much matter if the ending is confusing and questionable. The ending just denotes that we all have spirits who need to fly, not be immobilized by an uncurable disease. If you watch the movie closely, there are some very artistic qualities about it, such as when Elijah Wood is bouncing the ball against the wall and there is a star of light shining between him and the wall. I enjoyed the acting, except (slightly)for Jeanene Garofolo.
