Description

Queen Latifah and Dakota Fanning lead a stellar ensemble cast including Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Sophie Okonedo, and Paul Bettany in this wonderful film about family, independence and the transcendent power of love based on the acclaimed best-selling novel. To escape her cruel, angry father, and discover the truth about her late mother’s past, 14-year old Lily Owens flees with her caregiver and friend Rosaleen to a South Carolina town where she’s taken in by the bee-keeping Boatwright sisters. Surrounded by the unexpected love, grace and spirituality she encounters there, Lily forms a bond with each of these uniquely gifted women and discovers that sometimes you must leave home in order to find it.

    I live literally around the corner from the Pink house where this was filmed here in Watha, NC. They painted it for the film. They even kept the house this color since. Great film, great cast.

    The book and movie are both amazing. Being a junior in high school I hated reading but having to read, I read, and I absolutely loved this book. The movie is slightly different but mostly the same. The cast is a great group of individuals and they are did an outstanding job in the movie. The author did a great job on the theme.

    I rarely write reviews so when I do it's completely meritted. This is one of the most heart warming movies I've seen in a while. By the end of the movie I was bawling and had to change my tear drenched shirt!

    Heart wrenchingly sad at times but that's what makes it so beautiful.
