The Secret Life of Bees (PG-13, 2008)

The Secret Life of Bees is a movie thta will make you cry and laugh.It shows how you have to stick together and never turn away from family.

I really liked this movie and it delivered a powerful message at the end. Good acting too

Well I loved this movie. I thought it was al little sad because someone does kill them selves. There is just a gentle kissing and there is some abuse. Also this is when there was segregation in it so that isn't a positive message.

I am a kid ten years old, and maybe you think I shouldn't have seen it. But I read the book and saw the movie and I think they were both copacetic for kids 12+. There is a lot of violence, especially to African Americans, but not too graphic. There is cussing, words really NO ONE should use, but definitely not young adults or children. Lily, the main character, kisses a black boy once, and June and her boyfriend kiss a lot, but nothing more then that. Lily is treated badly, and she has to sit on grits, so her knees have a little blood on them but not a lot. On the whole, I recommend this movie for 12+ and maybe if a parent is with them, 10 is the youngest. You choose. Great movie, great book (by Sue Monk Kidd)!

the positive message iz that every little thing can b loved

Secret Life Of Bees is a very good movie starring Dakota Fanning. The movie is about a 14 year old girl who is haunted by the memorie of when she accidently killed her mother when she was four. She also has a very abusive father. Finnally she thinks her dad has crossed the line with saying and doing bad things to her. So she runs away and takes an older family memeber with her. soon they find a place to stay with a kind family who makes honey and works with bees. Lilly the 14 year old girl lies and doesent tell them why she really needs a place to stay. But as lilly becomes closer and closer to the family through love, honey, friendship, tragedies, and bees she has second thoughts about keeping everything about her life a secret from them. The movie is very sad and somewhat ilont. But secret life of bees i recomend for all kids 12 and up. But keep in mind the movie does have mature themes such as: Physical abuse, death, tragedies, and more....

Amazing movie. Some racial issues, including a character being falsely accused and beaten. The most intense scene of the movie is when one of the characters commits suicide. You see her body and the reaction of all the characters. It's very sad and has an effect for pretty much the remainder of the movie. I highly recommend you give it a chance.

This movie is an exellent film representation of the book by the same name by Sue Monk Kidd. The movie portrays important issues like racial prejudice, bad family situations, and suicide, while keeping an overall positive message of finding yourself and beauty in unexpected places. Lily, the main character, finds a true family in the beekeeping Boatwright sisters, and learns much about herself and that 'she is enough.'

This movie is extremely powerful. It shows viewers the effects of racial discrimination in the 1960s. the leading female roles are very strong, but why in the world are most of of them singers? Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, even Queen Latifah did some rap back in the day. And they got Sophie Okonedo to play Miss May. And she's a singer. Mind you, they are all strong women. But overall, an extremely inspirational movie. p.s Zach and Lily's kiss was so adorable!!!
