Review of Akeelah and the Bee (2006) by Tasha C — 23 Jul 2008
I really liked this movie. It took me back to my fourth grade spelling bee when I missed (of all words) EMBARRASS. I wasn't sure if it had 1 R or 2, but after that day, I NEVER forgot again. LOL. But anyway...
I like this movie because of the way he cultivates her sharp little mind and pushes her even when she pushes back. The strength of his character brought a guidance to her life that she really didn't have. Although her mom was there, with him, she knew she now had someone who cared about things she cared about...and somehow that's validating.
It's a GREAT mentor movie of how simply being you can inspire some else to be all they can be....even when they don't yet know who THAT is!
