Summary: Tearjerker
Review: "The Bumblbee Flies Anyway? What kind of name is that?" I thought. But I was determind to see every movie of Racheal Leigh Cooks. For one we have the same name, and for two she's my favorite actress. This movie is my all time favorite one of Racheal's movies. I've only seen about three movies that can really make me cry. This one one of them. I loved the way Barney and Cassie showed their love for eachother. My favorite part is the very very end. I love that song Truthfully. My fav. movie

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Utterly implausible but fun to watch anyway
Review: An enjoyable & romantic must-see film for fans of Elijah Wood and the very appealing Rachael Leigh cook, preposterous story line notwithstanding. In the hands of a less capable lead actor, Wood's role as amnesiac Barney Snow would have been a howler. The premise makes little sense, and when you finally figure out what's really going on, it makes even less. Think of it as a science fiction movie, and you'll find the whole-hog scientific leaps and stretches much less aggravating. Janeane Garofalo, an otherwise wonderful actress, is wasted on a very flat role here as a doctor fixated on "detachment". Still, I'd recommend it to any Elijah fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Is A Great Movie
Review: At first the only reason I saw this movie was because Elijah Wood was in it, I've had a crush on him since I was 9. I was flipping through channels when I saw this movie. It was amazing. All the actors and actresses were great. The only dissapointment was the perfomence by Rachel Leigh Cook. I thought she could have done better or she could have been in the movie more. She kind of had a small part and probably if they took her out the movie wouldn't change much. But I really think if she was going to be in this movie she should have had a larger role.
But overall it was a great movie. If you are thinking about seeing this you should see this one. It is a wonderful movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Even Elijah Wood can't save this movie
Review: At the end of "The Bumblebee Flies Anyway," I found myself wondering what the filmmakers had set out to accomplish when making the film. It is still unclear to me. Nevertheless, this movie is extremely touching, and worth watching.
Barney Snow is living in a hospital for terminally ill children, but is not near death...just amnesiac. Barney is in despair. All he can remember is his name and a few random facts. The film follows his journey, as he meets his fellow patients and begins unraveling the real story as to why he is the way he is. This is a film about life: how to appreciate and hold onto it.
Elijah Wood is excellent as Barney Snow, and quite reminiscent of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker in "Spider-Man." The boys who play his friends are also very good. Rachael Leigh Cook and Janeane Garofalo's characters, however, are too stiff and one-dimensional.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Pulls On The Heartstrings!
Review: Barney Snow is part of the Bumblebee Project. He has volunteered to undergo a new type of therapy that will help him rediscover his past. You see Barney has no memories of who he is, his family or his past. He's hoping that Dr. Harriman (aka: The Handyman) can help him in his quest. The therapy he must undergo takes place in a hospital for terminally ill patients. While searching for his past, he finds that his present is much more interesting. Having been told not to consort with the terminally ill patients, Barney finds he has more in common with them than he ever could have imagined. Helping him deal with all of this are Dr. Harriman and his newly found friends Billy, Mike, Mazzo and Cassie.
Convincing performances by Elijah Wood as Barney, Janeane Garofalo as Dr. Harriman, Joseph Perrino as Mazzo, and Rachel Leigh Cook as Cassie. Heart-wrenching story that you'll need plenty of Kleenex for. Makes me want to rush out and buy the novel on which this movie is based.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magnificent
Review: Elijah is wonderful in this movie. He is such an amazing actor, he could pull off any character. He is a well enowed actor. Kudos to him and may he have many more success'.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent acting, so-so plot
Review: Elijah Wood (The Faculty) stars as Barney Snow, an amnesiac patient in a ward for the terminally ill, who is desperately trying to remember his past. As the plot unravels and he begins to regain his memory, even more questions spring up.

There's the plot line, and here's my opinion: The BumbleBee Flies Anyway is worth watching, and the acting (in particular, Wood's performance) is great, but the plot lacks a certain something...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie right away.
Review: Great screen play. Impressive performance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Aww @_o;;
Review: I actually haven't bought this yet, but I saw it on TV. Elijah Wood is so cool ;_; And really cute too. He always knows how to pull at people's heartstrings. This is worth buying. Trust me. It is.
