(USA) Now here’s a chick flick with minimum fluff and maximum heart. Based on the 2003 bestselling novel by Sue Monk Kidd of the same name, The Secret Life of Bees is a simple yet unforgettable about 14-year-old Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning), who flees from her lonely life and an abusive father in search of the truth about her dead mother. Accompanied by her caregiver and only friend Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson), she arrives at the doorstep of the bee-keeping Boatwright sisters (Queen Latifah, Sophie Okenedo and Alicia Keys) in Tiburon, South Carolina.
