REVIEW
AKEELAH AND THE BEE: Akeelah (Keke Palmer) is a young student from South Los Angeles with an extraordinary ability to spell, even though she doesn’t know what the words mean. After Akeelah wins the school bee, Dr. Larabee (Laurence Fishburne), a reclusive UCLA professor, agrees to coach her for the district bee.
The girl begins to learn personal discipline and 5,000 new words. She makes it to the nationals with the help of her family, friends and people in the community, including a poetry writing gang boss.
If you’ve gone into a Starbucks lately, you’ll have noticed promotional items for this film. Starbucks, already known for its conscientious fair trade coffees and health care benefits (even for part time employees), joined Lions Gate Films to produce this fine movie. Sounds like cultural and social responsibility to me when corporations give back to the community.
