The Secret Lives of Bees
In South Carolina during times of racial tension, Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning) and Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson) run away from their troubles to find sanctuary in the home of three beekeeping sisters, August, June, and May Boatwright (Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, and Sophie Okonedo). Lily is an innocent child who suffers from the guilt of her past and present as she searches for love and information about her mother. This entertaining story is funny, sweet, and tragic. Little Dakota is grown up here and she can still act with the best of them. She will make you cry. The whole cast is talented, but Dakota's and Sophie's performances are exceptional. Oh, and this film is educational too because it will teach you about beekeeping and the secret lives of bees.
Alien gives it 3 "bee stung and honey sweet" stars out of 4.
