Perfect for all ages, but young viewers may not understand, but fun for family!! :)
This movie was shown on Disney Channel once and when I saw it, I knew it that it was perfect for ALL ages.. The film was actually great, and our family watched it. It helps to be educational because after all it takes place at a Spelling bee right? I just loved the way the boy stalled ( I quite can't remember the name) for Akeelah at the spelling bee.. That was great teamwork! Her backstory, just like what auntie peepa said, was a fault and sad, but other than that, it was typically GR8!

an inspriring story about a girl who loves to spell
I saw this movie not to long ago and it is very good and teaches kids to follow there dreams. The story is about an 11 year old girl named Akeelah Anderson who lost her dad beacause somebody had shot him when she was 6. Shortly after his death Akeelah learns that she loves spelling and is very good at it. At age 11 she tries out for her schools spelling bee and then moves on to another one of course her goal is to get 1st place at the spelling bee in washinton D.C. Through all this she exsperinces love, sadness, and a bigger wile to spell. The content in this movie is pritty much age apropreat for the age it's amed at (8 and up) There some iffy stuff like Akeelah begins to like a boy and he likes her back. They share 2 kisses on the check and in the middle of the film the boy akeelah likes makes a sexual non- ofensive joke that mekes Akeelah laugh. there is also some iffy mild language and peoeple talk about people who have died. Overall great movie i recomend it! PS: the movie is also pritty educational 2. It taught me to spell words i never thought i could spell.

Great!!!
Good movie. It's very educational because you can learn the words when she (Akeelah)learns them. Her backstory is a little scary but other than that it's great!!

Heartwarming movie that's awesome for the whole family . . .
Honestly, this is one of my absoulte favourite movies, because it touches on everything, including a kid who beats all the odds to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It's heartwarming, charming, funny, and the perfect mix between a documentry and a drama/ comedy. It's a great movie with great messages that being smart can have power to change your life and the others around you.

mainly perfect for everyone, especially spelling bee contestants
I liked this one extra because I myself have been to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Akeelah tied with her rival because she got serious and spelled her way in to win.

Fine for kids
I have seen this movie several times. It's alright, but I think it has good messages about accepting yourself, because at first Akeelah didn't want the school to know how good she was with spelling, because she was trying to fit in. But she begins to show her true self later on. There aren't too many concerns here; the violence is just about people who have died (offscreen), the sex is limited to kissing, the language is mild, and there isn't much drinking/smoking.
