Grade: B+
This is one of the movies I watched this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It had all the aspects I was expecting: girl who grows up in a tough neighborhood, really good at spelling, dysfunctional family, the bee is her way out. What I did not expect was for Keke Palmer to be so charming and the story so heartwarming. The ending is what really got me, but again it could just be me being emotional.
