great movie also it was heart warming and memorable would see it again
it was cute...lil slow for me at times..but a good inspiration movie i guess.
one in a million movie, no doubt about it!!! inspiration and joybringing! Loved it!!!
Perfect for those obsessed with spelling and words:-) lighthearted movie with moral lesson- fairly formulaic but a good night's light entertainment
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!
omg! this was such a good movie. its so sad and happy all at the same time. u have to see this if u havent yet! and props to Keke Palmer! great performance...

What! this movie is soo good, that i think all young black children should see it. Wonderful!
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)
Great Movie. Really encourages you. after your head stops hurting from trying to spell all those words. The Spanish kid was real sweet.
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.
