Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

Edit this Page
Doug Atchison Director previously directed Ellen's Father

A young girl is determined to compete in a spelling B.

Reference: Spellbound

When a critical word in a bee is "logorrhea," the film is referencing SPELLBOUND, a documentary on spelling where this word was the final one.

Quote: Akeelah

This is all starting to sound heavy.

Boy

It is heavy. Spelling bees are some serious shit.
