Movie: Secret Life of Bees
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 110 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie with Cousin Bonnie and we both loved it. She had already read the book and said she enjoyed both, the book and the movie. Dakota Fanning finds that she isn't loved by her Father and since her Mother is dead, she runs away from home, taking the black housekeeper with her (played by Jennifer Hudson). They move in with a black family who raises bees and sells the honey. Queen Latifah is the head of the house and her two sisters are played by Alicia Keyes and Sophie Okonedo (who gives an Oscar-worthy performance). You may want to take a hankie with you - I didn't cry but Cousin Bonnie did.

Mom-did they show the wall in the movie where they wrote notes and poked them in the cracks? I loved that part of the book. xoxo
