    A great movie. Liked the poem but wasn't able to catch up. The poem was about having no fear facing ourselves. The only thing we feared of is our own existence and we need to fight altogether with the people surrounding us with their support and nothing will happen. Magnifico!

    Akeelah And The Bee is one of the greatest movies of the year. Yes, it is somewhat childish and is filled with cliques; but after watching it you get a good feeling in your stomach. The acting, art direction, direction, and drama are all terrific. The different sub-plots are also...( read more) very nice.

    I love that movie because the girl Akeelah had showed me that you can learn as much as you want. You can be a speller and a good one @ that. Once I saw this movie it showed me that the big words are really small words inform of a big one. That is why I love that movie so much!

    Akeela gives girls everywhere permission to excel!
  • December 6, 2007
    Sickly sweet, heart-warming family drama revolving around a spelling bee. Not exactly adrenaline filled, but very compelling. Palmer and Fishburne are wonderful and while a bit predictable, the story and message is very inspiring. Life lessons aside, it's worth watching if only f...( read more)or some of the words the kids have to spell!! A bit like 'Rocky' with a dictionary and an equally cool finale. Warm and fuzzy, worth a look!

    Great Movie. Really encourages you. after your head stops hurting from trying to spell all those words. The Spanish kid was real sweet.
  • November 26, 2007
    Easy translation: It's a big mistake to think or believe we are not enough. I liked this movie; there is a lot of familiar stuff in it, but a couple of nice twists. Good acting all around.
