Movie Reviews of Spellbound
Movie Review: Spellbound is an eye opening movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie follows eight national spelling bee contestants through the preparation in their home towns to the actual contest. It shows just how much kids can achieve with determination and hard work. I highly recommend this for everyone, but especially for parents to show to their hard to motivate children.
Summary of Spellbound
Spellbound is the extraordinary documentary that follows eight teenagers on their quest to win the National Spelling Bee competition.Who would have thought that a documentary about spelling-bee contestants could be as suspenseful as a Hitchcock thriller? Spellbound, which follows eight kids from their early victories in regional spelling bees to the national competition in Washington, D.C., is an out-and-out nail-biter. Each of the kids--who range from a quietly driven African American girl from a run-down D.C. neighborhood, to a genial Connecticut girl who talks about bringing her au pair to a previous competition, to an almost zombie-like boy whose immigrant father has paid 1,000 people back in India to pray for the boy's success--gets captured so vividly that you can't help but get emotionally immersed in their brave, nerve-wracking struggle to spell slippery, treacherous words. Along the way, Spellbound contrasts the crazily different populations that make up the U.S. and shows how this facet of intelligence truly makes everyone equal on the podium. A riveting, wrenching, must-see movie. --Bret Fetzer
