Akeelah and the Bee is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life, the pacing, energy and motivation was without doubt excellent. The movie started with an 11-year-old Afro American girl who lost her father to a murder at the age of six but the memory of playing a game with him called scramble has really instil in her the exceptional ability to recognize words and spell them , struggling through different pressure from bullies and her bother who was an hooligan and her traumatized mother were factors that reduced herself- esteem. She was an highly intelligent, low self esteem student who was bullied at school, she went through it all and was fortunate to meet a coach, Mr Larabee, who also had a tragic past, but an exceptional Doctor who helped to bring the best out of her, she struggled with her new face of life with competitions and other white kids but she proved the bullies wrong, she made a reality that the trauma and tragic past might persist but success can be attained, this movie is a compilation hardwork, perseverance, diligence and inspiration to those who a struggling with bullies and need help. It also shows that intelligence has to be guided and properly pruned to result in excellence, because even though she was intelligent she had to go under teaching and proper tutelage to become exceptional, The movie shows love and community support, her community were very awesome at supporting her training, I also appreciate how her school teacher and principle encouraged her to participate in the spelling bee, even though she was reluctant at first. To the last ending part which was the competition, it shows the importance of hardwork and teamwork, and a union and unity between black children and the white, it was a very exciting moment for me when I discovered, the tie was possible and both kids made it to the final round and they were both winners. Akeelah and the bee was a well balanced movie with, little humour, excitement, suspense and motivation, the only moment I thought they might have changed was when there was a kiss on the cheek, it might not be of acceptance to some parents, but a very fantastic movie overall. For this movie, I will vehemently recommend it to children, teenagers and adults who really movies that are made not just for entertainment this is a movie that expresses core values, determination, diligence, inspiration and the power of mentor-ship and guidance, It shows that success can be achieved even though, there might be some tragic background and events in our life. 1 person found this helpful.

AKEELAH AND THE BEE traces the delicate, courageous process of a little girl's growing up. Akeelah Keke Palmer is a resolute 11-year-old with a gift for spelling. Trying to fit in with her classmates at a middle school in Los Angeles' Crenshaw district, she misses her father who was killed by gun violence when she was 6 and doesn't see enough of her hardworking mother, Tanya Angela Bassett. After Akeelah wins a class-wide bee, her principal Curtis Armstrong decides that she should compete He wants to promote the school, but he's also drawn to the earnestness of this brilliant girl who isn't being challenged enough by her underfunded school system. With the help of imposing professor Dr. Larabee Laurence Fishburne and her new friend, Javier Villarreal, Akeelah faces off against rival Dylan Chu Sean Michael Afable on their journey to becoming Scripps National Spelling Bee champions. Is It Any Good? In large part, this film's delights have to do with Palmer's winning performance, most apparent in one-on-one scenes with her mom or coach. But Akeelah and the Bee also has something else going on Embracing the conventions that make so many other genre films feel stale, director Doug Atchison tweaks them slightly with fun details, such as the way Akeelah taps out letters on her thigh with her fingers or sees the letters in her head as she jumps rope. Overall, the film's earnest messages of perseverance and sportsmanship are hard to refute. And feel-good scenes of a low-income neighborhood rallying around a prodigal daughter make this a charming watch. Akeelah and the Bee may be too familiar of a sports narrative - and too shallow to offer any real commentary on how Black children can thrive in an underfunded public school system - but it does deliver a heaping dose of "Black girl magic" for older kids and tweens.
