This is my favorite movie. Akeelah is an underachiver student in South Central L.A. To keep from getting detention, she participates in the first ever school spelling bee. Her father loved Scrabble, and her years playing on the computer helped her win the school bee. But that is not all that is in store for Akeelah, but I don't want to give away the ending. A moving story that has me in tears every time I watch it. This will be a family favorite for years to come.
