I love movies like this because...


...it's so much fun to play Spot the Logic Gap. (Spoilers)

The two high school students making out in the car get bee-sieged and, as they try to drive away, shout "I'm getting stung all over!" "So am I!" Then their car has a very rapid rendezvous with a very large truck. And the only marks the coroner finds on them afterward are... self-induced fingernail scratches from trying to shoo away the bees. Clearly, the teens in this town are witches from some sort of Teflon coven. Burn them. (It's okay; they won't stick.)

In the barn: I love that Chad just starts chopping away at the trap door without telling his family to get back in case they're under it. Oh... sorry, hon... but, having your cerebral hemispheres right next to each other is overrated, right?

And then there's the news program's "amateur video" of the swarm at the wedding reception. It's recorded from several places around the yard, at varying degrees of height, and the camera is perfectly steady. Who at that wedding kept setting up careful tripod shots while everyone else was panicking and running from the bees? I think that person remained calm by bringing his or her own special brand of wedding cake.
