The Secret Life of Bees is adapted from the immensely popular novel of the same name by Sue Monk Kidd.
Thanks to the efforts of producers Will -Jada Pinkett Smith, they have managed to really give a huge talent house to bring the spirit of the book alive onto the big screen.
The story follows 14-year-old Lily (Dakota Fanning) whose mother died, leaving Lily with an abusive father. Together with her caregiver Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson), Lily runs away from her father, and the two wind up at a pink house and under the protection of four smart, strong, beekeeping sisters
While Dakota Fanning looks set to marvel us yet again, this time though in an older role...we also have the talents of Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonenda all chipping in. Even musician Alicia Keys plays an all important role in the movie.
