Akeelah and the Bee
Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
My Rating: 9/10
A simple yet wonderful feel-good film. Watch it with the family. I did. Jake, who has his third spelling test today, found interest in it. Bella, although just learning colors and the seven continents, doesn’t know anything about spelling but there were interesting things throughout the movie that kept her attention. This is a good example of conflict and how it keeps the attention of the audience. Without it, Bella would have been bored half to sleep… and she fights sleep at night. The acting was good and the twist at the end was enough to make this movie less predictable than you think it is.
Watch it.
