Critic Reviews of "Akeelah and the Bee"
Time OutAugust 17, 2006Its clichés seem bigger and its characterisations broader than they would on the more forgiving telly.
USA TodayApril 28, 2006... it's easy to overlook that contrivance, because the movie's heart is so clearly in the right place.
Toronto StarApril 28, 2006The latest spelling bee movie is a Starbucks Entertainment product, and it has a made-to-order feel about it, kind of like a compilation album.
Seattle TimesApril 28, 2006Keke Palmer, who's been working in television and movies for the past few years, is a natural on screen.
San Francisco ChronicleApril 28, 2006It's the kind of movie parents will want their kids to see as opposed to much of what's playing at the multiplex.
Orlando SentinelApril 28, 2006... a delight to sit through ...
Laramie Movie ScopeNovember 24, 2010It isn't just about the competition. It is about heart, dedication, intelligence and the pulling together of a entire community.
Paste MagazineJune 08, 2008Akeelah and the Bee is the kind of movie you want to recommend to every 11-year-old you know.
CinematicalSeptember 18, 2007The best thing ... is that, unlike the majority of sports films, the film doesn't suggest that spelling has some kind of transcendental importance.
Big Picture Big SoundJuly 14, 2007It's hard to believe the best family film so far this year comes from a writer-director whose previous film bears the unfortunate title The Pornographer.
Film Journal InternationalMarch 01, 2007Fine performances all around and smart pacing that rivets us to the story.
AALBC.comJanuary 22, 2007Any parents wondering why they don't make wholesome family flicks anymore can stop wondering.
