- Akeelah and the Bee
This is a great family movie. I watch it with my 6 year old Granddaughter fairly often. She likes Akeelah and that a lot of it takes place during/in school. I am however afraid that her watching it off and on for another few years is...

- How do you spell Pollyannaish?
There are two ways to look at this movie. It's better as a Disneyesque sugar-coated inspirational family movie, as long as the parents and kids watching it don't get too serious or go too deep analyzing it. There is one worthwhile lesson...

- Good Language?
I rented this movie because it was billed as a great kid's story of triumph over adversity and that sort of thing. I thought my son (4-year-old) would like it, because he loves to read and thinks words are pretty cool. The actual story...
