I wanted to fall asleep during parts of Akeelah and the Bee, but I couldn't because I wanted to see more spelling bees. Just like any other movie about sports or competitions, you're always waiting for that showdown.
This is a movie that makes you feel smarter, because it's about words. Here are some of my favourites:
luscious
facetious
cellar door
and now: pulchritude
Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
