Secret Life of Bees

Today I sat through a shallow film version of a very complex book - The Secret Life of Bees. The acting was just "OK" - nothing to write home about. Dakota Fanning and some of the actors in minor parts gave the most professional performances. The three other "actors" in major roles should stick to singing. The casting was awful. With another cast of more seasoned actors and a better script, this could have been a winner. The book was a huge hit and book club favorite. The audience was polite but unmoved by the performances and lackluster script.

Save your money and rent it.
