Not based on a true story but lots of great acting from Morpheus and Keke Palmer. Not really worthy of a rewatch or keeper since the cat is out of the bag once you watch it. Booger was a surprise with his role that actually worked. A couple miscasts and a few sensationalized Hollywood moments that took this pipe dream movie away from being perfect. A must watch for Spelling B'ers but a real crack up and witty movie worth watching is Bad Words with Jason Bateman.

This movie shows a little of what Akeelah's life would be like in CA. The producers kept it clean except for 2-3 minor curse words. This shows a little girl with a lot of determination, and many people supporting her on her journey.

"Phenomenal movie! My 7 year old loves it and it has inspired her to spell words like pulchritude and terradactyl. Even if they don't become great spellers, this movie is still a winner!"
