5.0 out of 5 stars This one pulls at your heart strings, January 2, 2009
This review is from: The Secret Life of Bees (DVD)
This is the best movie I have seen in a long time. I think I had tears in my eyes through 75% of the movie. This is Dakota Fanning's best performance. Jennifer Hudson was spectacular. Queen Latifah delivered like never before. Everyone was amazing in this film. Don't waste your time renting this one because it's one to own. You really connect with the characters and the issues at hand. This is a must see movie.

This review is from: The Secret Life of Bees (DVD)
Excellent movie. Almost perfect version of the book. I was expecting a PG though but still it's a great movie. For me one of the best movies of 2008.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best movie of 2008!!, January 2, 2009
This review is from: The Secret Life of Bees (DVD)
I thought this was the best movie of 2008! It was SO GOOD! Granted I had some movies that I went to and watched over and over again, this one I only watched once but once I watched it I knew it would be a timeless classic. Don't rent this movie! Just buy it! It's SO GOOD!
