when the first Asians crossed the Bering

to the devastation and turmoil caused by
last year's Hurricane Katrina. In between

Akeelah and the Bee
DVD
J Tl
, - ft*
: : Akeelah
_ BEE.;
A movie with no
car crashes, explo
sions or shoot
outs, Akeelah and
the Bee instead
finds dramatic
traction—and
plenty of it—in
its feel-good
tale of a middle
school spelling
prodigy. Akeelah, (played to perfection by
13-year-old Keke Palmer) a seventh grader
in the tough Los Angeles South Central
"hood," overcomes lack of family encour
agement and fear of being perceived by
her fieers as a “brainiac” to compete in the
Scripps National Spelling Bee, instilling
her in the process with a sense of empow
erment, accomplishment and community
pride. In revealing just how far mastery
of letters can take her, Akeelah and the Bee
creates a beautiful buzz with a character
you want to root for and the wonderful
idea that knowledge can unlock doors and
unleash dreams. (Rated PG)
