  I rate this as an acceptable level of horny for a kids film.

  James Spader here: I’m an architect. I love architecture. Architecture is my passion, I’m the best, greatest architect. 

  Also Spader here: So my vision for my house is that it is essentially the longest hallway in the world.

  The Secret Life of Bees 2008

  ★★★ Watched 24 Oct 2016 1

  I kind of wish this movie was less about the pretty white girl's typical 'rediscovering her mom' junk and more about Hudson's discovery and connection to a group of women who embody so many of her own feelings that she could never express before.

  Instead, the dramatic beats seem like less of an awakening than a mishmash. The insertion of contemporary music is jarring, and the overuse of montage covers some moments that would be better left explored. Just kind of unsatisfying overall, though it has a lot of good pieces.
