  • Directed and Adapted by Gina Prince-Bythewood
  • Produced by Lauren Shuler Donner, Jack Leslie, James Lassiter, Will Smith, Joe Pichirallo
  • Cast: Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys, Paul Bettany, Hilarie Burton and Nate Parker

Set in South Carolina in 1964, the film is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna.

Nicely cast. I hope they stuck to the Book as closely as possible. This will be a must see for me.

Ths synopsis of the Secret Life of Bees sounds a if it will be a pretty good movie. The guys would probably say is it a "girl movie". I would like to see when it comes in October.
