I use this DVD in middle school to teach goal setting. It is a great, inspirational movie.

This was an amazing story - taking us all the way through the process of preparing for the National Spelling Bee - with, of course, a subplot continuing throughout. EXCELLENT acting by all (loved, loved, loved Laurence Fishburne in this!!)-- compelling from start to finish. Highly recommend!

This movie is trash
Added 9/9/2009
I hate this film. it stinks. it's garbage. I thought it might be good and all, but it really isn't. It's about a young African american girl who wants to be a good speller. She competes in a spelling contest, and with help from a old teacher, wins at the end. The whole thing is crap and not worth seeing. I hated the movie. it made me feel very bad about myself. It just damages my self-esteem. I hated this movie. Don't see it. It's got a good message, but comes across as being annoying and unrealistic. I didn't enjoy it. Waste of time and money.

Children 4 through 15 enjoyed this movie as well as adults! It is so well done it's a shame more people didn't get to see it when it came out! We loved it then and are happy to have it in our DVD collection. One of my favorite things about this movie is watching the faces of the kids and adults as they view this movie. It is inspiring!
