Fabulous movie... I saw it with my 15 year old step-daughter... ironically it was on the same night as Obama's win!!! Go see this movie, you won't regret it, it was the best I've seen in a while! Bring kleenex!

Outstanding performances - a human story told intelligently and in an emotionally evocative way. Dakota Fanning is outstanding, as is the rest of the cast.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys substance in a story, passion in acting, and artful cinematography. A hard story at times that makes us appreciate how far we've come from. But also a story of hope, and beauty in the human spirit whose light can shine upon its darkest corners.

I haven't read the book (yet!) but LOVED the movie. The story is like the analogy of the title -- it's all about the hidden activity that goes on under the surface of people that you don't usually see. If you're looking for action that drives the movie, there is that, but it won't necessarily tell you the deeper story. For that you have to listen and watch with your heart. A story of deep, profound woundedness, healing and liberation, set in the American South when it too was going through a time of the same. May's wall was heart-stopping. Queen Latifah is a goddess. I would like to have seen more of the life story behind Rosaleen. I also wish they had worked the analogy of the bees a bit more. Still a must-see!

Oprah pumped this movie so much so I expected too much from it. I thought it was boring.

This movie had wonderful acting. However, the script was not equal to its actors. I was disappointed. It shows how much talent it actually takes to write a good screenplay. The writers often do not receive enough credit.

HI! I was unsure about this movie because it has received mixed reviews. However, I had my parents in town and it was the only choice that made us all happy. Dakota Fanning is exceptional in this film. A true talent. Paul Bettany is unrecognizable as his role as t-ray. I think that Miss Keyes still needs some acting lessons but she was the only weak link. It was very moving and worth the price of admission. Enjoy this story from the 1960's.

Excellent acting for the very young leading actress. Jennifer Hudson was very good as usual although I wanted to see more of her. Alicia surprised me also by her performance. The story is very realistic, beautiful, sad... all emotions are there.

This movie has a wonderful story and the acting by Dakota Fanning was brilliant. Alicia Keys also makes a great acting debut; however, Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah are not as good. Overall, it is a must see!
