The Secret Life of Bees (2008)

Beautfiful cinematography. Ummm...interesting clip. But I had trouble understanding one of Dakota Fanning's lines. I had to turn up the volume & rewind a portion of it several times to get what she was saying! I had to do that with her parts in some of "Dreamer" as well! Dakota, you're a nice kid & all, but as an actress, you've got to learn to speak your dialogue a LITTLE CLEARER!

i loved the book.. it is one of my favorites! Dakota I think you will do amazing playing the part of Lily.. i cant wait

I am very excited about this movie and I can't wait to see Jennifer Hudson in action again. And to pbNik: there is nothing wrong with Dakota's dialogue. If you ever see her in interviews she speaks very well and clearly. Its called "acting" for a reason and she played her part very well. If you would have paid attention to the synopsis you would have seen that the movie is set in South Carolina in the 1960s and Dakota's character has a Southern dialect. If you knew anything you would know that Southerners are known to be fast and slurred speakers, and Dakota portrayed that very well being that she is from the South (Georgia to be exact). So pbNik stick to your day job and leave movie critiquing and coaching to the professionals.

I read this book and it was a very good book. I hope this movie is as good as the book!

hello avery one, this movie is must to go see as you can see it has many of stars in it.i was apart of this movie as extar bystander in i had the biggest time of my life! i hope avery one get a chanes to see it god bless all who had a hand in this movie!

its sucks

very moving!

BRAVO!!! The movie did the book justice, as is seldom the case. each actress nailed their parts. Alicia Keyes was a pleasant surprise. Go see it, sit back & enjoy a great story.

I really enjoyed it and the book is great

this was an amaizing movie...i have never cried so much while watching a movie before...all of the stars give excellent performances...i had no idea dakota could act like that...she is a force to be reconed with...

IT was sooo good, I loved reading the book and I the cast was an excellent pick.

I saw it last night, and it was so amazing. I cried from beginning to end. If you haven't seen it already you should.

Im seeing it today, but it looks really good!!

waste of $9 boring and drags on from scene too scene

What the he double l were u people looking at? Keys looked and talked kie someone was whispering her lines to her, poor acting skills. Queen tired to talk and act like she was sharing wisdom,b ut talked so slow you could figue out were she was going in her lines. Hudson just looked busted. She dont have to worry about winning any awards here. Her wise cracks were to eddie haskel to me. borning movie nothing to rush out to see.It should have stayed a book the movie was not worth the money.

Cowboys, you make no sense. Please check your spelling and grammar before posting anything; it makes you a less credible critic. I cried, laughed, and was emotionally moved. Hats off to the ladies!

Best one I've seen in a while. Very moving and emotional and great acting all around. Will see again.

how can anyone say this movie is terrible! shame on you...this is one of the best movies i have ever seen. I cried, laughed...beautiful movie, i can't wait to buy it and watch it over and over again.

This movie was boring!!!! I basically threw away $8.50 to see this movie. Wait until it comes out on DVD, your not missing anything!

Too bad those few felt they had to post bad reviews - this was an excellent production. Great cast, all believable. I wasn't prepared to like it because the book was so good, but was pleasantly surprised. Anyone know where it was filmed?

It felt really rushed.

This book is my favourite book, so when I heard a movie was coming out I got really excited. When I saw the movie I felt really bummed because it went by so fast, I mean April is barely mentioned, I think it's crucial to know that May's twin sister killed herself, as for May. I love who plays May, but breaking into tears wasn't how it happened, she started to hum a song first, and then..cry, May's whole break down and then sudden suicide didn't happen in a matter of 30 minutes. I think it should have been longer and more things elaborated, so that this movie didn't seem like it was rushed through. Great scenes, but they were like vignettes. I advise all those who watch the movie or are planning to, to read the book first, because had I not read the book first I would have been bored and wouldn't have cared so much, and would have been blown away by the sudden death of May before I had even gotten a chance to connect with her in the movie like I had in the book.

awesome movie without a doubt

I loved this movie and im a guy that should deff tell you somethimng.This has to be like my favorit movie EVER.

Queen Latifah will you marrie me lol; one little thing im 14 lol I hope to see you in another movie.!! =]

This movie was one of the better ones I've seen lately; it made me laugh, cry, laugh, and cry even more! I loved it!

+++++I would give this movie so many more stars if i could. I loved this movie. i saw it with my boy friend and we both laughed and cried. it is not just a chick flick its great for guys and girls. its been a while since ive seen such a good movie. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!

brilliant movie shows what its like to grow up with friends like family. Enjoyed it very much.

this movie was really excellent! many metaphors .. evoked many emotions.

This movie was amazing!! I have never cried at a movie before, but this onw brought me to tears instantly! i was so suprised how amazing it was. I absolutely want to get this movie on DVD and i don't see how a person can write a bad review!

This movie is soooo good....and it does depict what really happened during this time.

Hey Alicia.... don't give up your day job!!!

For all those who gave bad reviews I'd like to ask you a question...Did you read the book? Because if you did i'm sure you would have a totally different opinion.

I've read the book and the day I heard the movies was out, I called my sister and we went. The movies put a face to the everyone. I want this DVD so bad I feel like a little girl who is sitting on Santa's lap and saying "All I want for Christmas is The Secret Life of Bees DVD.

Anyone know when the soundtrack will be available. I keep checking Amazon but they don't seem to have it.

i so loved the book i keep it like a bible, i cant wait to buy the dvd , has anyone read the mermaid chair , its also fantastic hope she makes that into a movie
