The Friday night movie this past week was Akeelah and the Bee. Bug is still on her "non-fiction" kick and is also getting into competition shows like Chopped and Cup Cake Wars. Akeelah and the Bee was right up her alley.
Overall, it was a good movie. It was a mostly predictable feel good movie where the underdog wins in the end. It does have good messages sprinkled through out. It stresses believing in yourself, working hard, dreaming big, accepting differences, and always doing your best job. Even the "bad" guy turns out to be not so bad.
There were moments in the film that overwhelmed Bug. She didn't like it when people made fun of Akeelah or some of the more tense competition. She did watch the whole film and seemed to enjoy it. She gave it a thumbs flat which is an OK.
