Review of Akeelah and the Bee (2006) by Kenneth Turan for Los Angeles Times — 26 Apr 2006
A genuinely sweet and determinedly inspirational family film that features a charming young actress in the title role. It's a successful feel-good movie, but it would make you feel even better if it didn't push quite so hard for its desired effects.
