Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

Location: Southside Works
Seen Before: No
Rating: 4.0

I had a good time watching this movie. For the type of film this is--and the audience it aims for--it succeeds in what it tries to do. I always enjoy watching Laurence Fishburne and Keke Palmer as Akeelah gave a wonderful turn. The bees had me in suspense; the final one even managed to throw a curveball. An enjoyable little film.
