Spellbound

DateTuesday, July 1, 2008 at 01:00AM

 

Release Year: 2002
Review: A documentary about eight middle school students from around the United States preparing for and competing in the 1999 National Spelling Bee. I'd heard a lot of good things about this movie, and although I typically stay away from documentaries that are more then a few years old this one really holds up well. The children they follow are all very unique and interesting from one another. You get a true feeling of just how different the cultures in even our own country are. I will never watch the National Spelling Bee the same way again.
Rating: 4/5
