The Bees' Buzz

Incredibly weird and hilarious old-fashioned cartoon-like comedy where people run around in zig-zag patterns yelling like Daffy Duck.

The plot relates to an oil baron from Oklahoma all set to marry Andy's daughter but she doesn't want to marry him and elopes with someone else. The Oklahoman tries to impress her and her friends by singing but unknowingly has a drink containing alum, which for some reason makes him unable to open his mouth very far, so the song comes out with him sounding like a cow.

And speaking of cows, the eloping couple hide inside a cow costume (where in the world did it come from?) and they hide in the barn, but oh-oh, here comes the very "old" farmer (which is the only character that isn't done very good as he seems more like a teenage boy or young woman with an incredibly fake-looking beard) to "milk" the fake cow. Later there is a funny bit with a real cow making an (drawn animation) exclamation mark and a question mark with its tail as the couple drive off still with the cow costume over them!

The most entertaining aspects relate to watching really old-fashioned cars race around during the chase scenes - which seem very real when compared to many other movies where they just have a movie screen behind the driver. The angles and the way it is filmed are amazingly well-done.

Finally, bees are everywhere (thanks to a golf ball knocking their hive from a tree) and stinging everyone - and this is where it gets even weirder. The Justice of the Peace races around the golf course making sounds like Daffy Duck, still inside (and "wearing") his portable sauna box!

This short little movie (about 20 minutes long) deserves an 8 because of how much it made me laugh, although I'm sure a lot of people would find some scenes annoying. I have watched it a few times.

You will probably be on the floor rolling with laughter by the end.
