Review of Akeelah and the Bee (2006) by Marcus A — 23 Sep 2008
With its warmth and enchanting story, "Akeelah and the Bee" proves to be one of the strongest movies of 2006. Keke Palmer is graceful as Akeelah Anderson and Angela Basset and Laurence Fishburne are excellent as always.
The screenplay is a bit cheesy but the structure is very well constructed and developed. Writer/ Director Doug Atchison created a rock-solid work, turning a tired sports plot/ scenario into a brilliant achievement.
