Beekeeping

About This Movie

So, 'Beekeeping' is this quirky little gem from 2006 that somehow manages to blend comedy with a genuine sense of drama. Set against the backdrop of Alaska, it follows Mike DeVries, a college student caught in a financial mess. The pacing has a nice rhythm; it builds tension and humor without feeling forced. The performances of Mike's dorm-mates—Barrett, Gary, and Keyes—are delightfully over-the-top yet grounded enough to keep you invested. And there's a certain rawness to the film; it doesn’t try to polish every moment, which I find refreshing. The themes of friendship and desperation are there, subtly woven into the plot, making it feel like a real college experience, albeit through a somewhat absurd lens.

Features a unique Alaskan setting.Interesting blend of comedy and drama.Noticeable practical effects in some scenes.
