    I loved this movie because it was so nice. I liked how they had to go through a few problems but they solved the problems. This movie is fun and very inspiring.

    This movie is wonderful! But there are about 10 or more bad words that go around during the movie.

    This movie is so inspirational that the movie just speaks to me!!! Akeelah is a great speller and now I am a good speller because of her !! Her family treated her differently than she wanted till later when her mom cared about the bee and loved the facts that she tired with Dylan

    This really makes me realize the abilities I have and what Akeelah was going through before her spelling bee. If I could put myself in Akeelah's shoes right now I would work through it all regardless of the outcome.

    When I first heard about this, it was from my Advanced reading teacher a year or two back. I had loved spelling bees, and had made the regionals but lost. I watched the movie, becoming determined to win the Nationals this year. I loved it. It was inspirational. Even though I didn't make it to the Nationals this year, the movie inspired me to keep studying, so I can make it next year. I turn this on every time I study. This is my all-time favorite movie.

    I remember watching this movie several times with fondness. Keke Palmer is still an amazing actress, but this was by a long shot her best performance to date (although you could debate the Longshots). Her other movies and tv shows have never shown the powerful actress that was so evident in this movie. I can hardly wait for when she gets another lead role in a dramatic movie.
  • I <3 this movie
