The Secret Life of what?


Yes, that's right, The Secret ife of Bees is the new all-star movie to hit our screens. Taking some of the most talented actresses and some of the most successful singers, you would think this is a hit that cannot be missed......I'll let you decide that for yourself!

The Secret Life of Bees was a bestselling novel by Sue Monk Kidd in 2002. Now, thanks to Gina Prince-Bythewood, the novel has become a movie.

Starring Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alcia Keys, this movie is definitely a 'girly one'. Set in South California 1964, this tale focuses on a 14-year-old Lily Owen (Dakota Fanning), who is being haunted by her late mother. Lily and her 'maid' (Jennifer Hudson) flee from her abusive father to a safehouse of sisters. Here, she is given the opportunity to be a part of a 'real family'.



The movie shows itself as a warm and fuzzy movie, if that's what you like then go for it, if not, you might want to keep checking those cinema listings! On the other hand, I am going to give it a shot. Gina Prince-Bythewood directed one of my favourite movies 'Love & Basketball', so I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt!
