Trailer

The official trailer for Man Vs Bee premiered on Thursday, May 26, kicking off with Atkinson on trial for dangerous driving, destruction of property and setting a house on fire, among other obnoxious things he did. But you wouldn't believe the cause of his adversity, and supposedly neither will the judge. 'There's this bee,' Atkinson (Trevor) says to the judge. 

Taking us back, the trailer shows how the monstrosity began with Trevor taking a job to housesit a luxurious mansion. His family is impressed with his new job, considering how his clumsiness has cost him several jobs in the past. However, our black and yellow striped bug antagonist appears, sending Trevor into a frenzy to destroy it at all costs. 

What ensues is physical humor laid on thick, as you’d expect of the comic. And no one shines in physical humor better than Atkinson. Even his face itself is comical!

Where Have You Seen Man vs Bee Before?

Where Have You Seen Man vs Bee Before?

This slapstick takes me back to Mr Bean’s ‘Bumble Bean’, an episode that saw Mr Bean fighting a bee who had invaded his carefully laid out solo picnic session. 

Another reminder is the 2007 animated comedy film Bee Movie which saw the protagonist bee Barry (Jerry Seinfeld), facing Ken (Patrick Warburton), a human who was jealous that his girlfriend Vanessa (Renée Zellweger) was spending too much time with the bug.
