The Secret Life of Bees Movie Synopsis

In South Carolina in 1964, Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning) is a 14-year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Hilarie Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Paul Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Queen Latifah, Sophie Okonedo and Alicia Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping.

Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Sue Monk Kidd.

I love it

The acting in this movie was very good. Good morals were incorporated, however it was quite depressing. 3 stars.
