“The commercial made me smile. It made me think u0026#39;That looks like a good kids movieu0026#39;, but at the same time it made me think u0026#39;It kind of looks stupid…u0026#39; Boy, I was wrong. Akeelah and the Bee is an inspirational movie, and is definitely great for those who share an interest in spelling bees.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI went to the movies with my friends for her birthday, expecting little about the bee at all and more about a love relationship between Akeelah and her newfound friend, Javier. Surprisingly enough, very little of the content was anything to do with romance, and thank goodness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting, oh my goodness. It was wonderful. Especially Keke Palmeru0026#39;s performance. Her face told the story, really. Facial acting was wonderful, no doubt. Kekeu0026#39;s performance perfectly matches up to her being as good as young Dakota Fanning, without her having to bawl out crying in any scenes. And the rest of the cast was great, too. The ending is very sweet, but I certainly wonu0026#39;t spoil it for anyone.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, a very inspirational movie. 10/10”
