Movie Reviews of Spellbound
Movie Review: MOST ENDEARING FILM AROUND!
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is the sweetest and funniest I have ever seen! If you're feeling a tad blue, or just in the mood to laugh - this is a MUST SEE! The filmmaker tracts the trials and tribulations of brilliant children and their families in search of the National Spelling Bee championship. You'll be amazed at the effort and dedication these children put forth as they make sacrifices to be the best speller they can be. If children in our country are truly this earnest and talented - our world is surely in very good hands!Movie Review: spell oscar

I've recommended "Spellbound" to friends more than most of the movies of 2003. I've always like watching the annual spelling finals on ESPN, and this documentary is fun for the same reasons. You find yourself picking favorites from the group and really pulling for them. And, like "Bowling for Columbine" from 2002, this speaks of the American experience. Watching a documentary is always different from watching a regular feature, but "Spellbound" is still very much worth seeing.Movie Review: Just Buy It Already!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a niche film for academic geeks (although they like it), but an intense documentary for all who wish to look outside the box of what is considered "normal." Every young person and adult that I know who has seen it is impressed and inspired (and that would be about two dozen total - not to mention the entire theatre full of weirdo's). At least rent it, so that you don't miss this unique piece of work - then you'll probably be back here to order.Movie Review: fun, engaging, and inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
I love good documentaries, so I thought this might be a fun one to see, and it was even better than I expected. At times the kids it followed were the source of a lot of humor, at other times I found myself becoming really drawn into the drama of this great competition, and I was never bored throughout the whole movie. I especially liked how it followed several kids from different backgrounds. You really get a feel for the great diversity because of that approach.Movie Review: Great MOVIE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be fooled by the title or subject matter--thinking that it will be dry and boring. This is a wonderful docudrama based on the National Spelling Bee, and the drama behind the preparation. This movie follows 6 kids? and their families, through the ordeal. It is both funny and sad how each family and the kids deals with going to this 'competition'. Loved every moment of it, and I think that the DVD follows other kids who were cut from the original flick!
