Very good movie - "Secret Life of Bees"

[JennsPeeps]

We loved it. Watch it!

Did you read the book? I haven't seen the movie yet, but my book club read the book about 2 1/2 years ago.

I read the book a couple years ago when it came out. Found it entertaining with some reservations. My girls and I saw the movie. I thought Queen Latifa was lovely in the role she played. My only fault is the movie could have been a bit more detailed.

I'd read that it was pretty good. I do like some of Queen Latifah's work.

I'll add it to my Netflix list. Thanks!

I made DH watch this with me Sunday night.
He said it was a Disney movie cause the mom dies in the opening scenes...

It was very good, and I thought it was very true to the book. Good casting, too.


Before we watched "Secret Life" we watched "Nights in Rodanthe."
DH was very

over that one, and I didn't like it as much as I expected to.
DH says I've used up all my chik-flik credits for the rest of the year, and we can only watch action/adventure type movies from now on

Have read the book but not seen the movie yet. It's on my list. I really liked the book.

Now you will have to only rent movies that show explosions on the cover!​

As many times as he's watched "There Will Be Blood!" and that Johnny Depp barber-slasher thing I think I'm still due some chik-fliks....

I did read the book! I thought that the movie did a nice job respecting the book. Like MP said, it could be more detailed, and yet it was still very nicely done.

Jennifer Hudson's nuanced performance of a young black woman whose eyes are opened to a new way of being was lovely. Queen Latifah was, as MP says, very good.
