The other night my girlfriend and my sister went to go see The Secret Life of Bees. It sounds really interesting:
Set in South Carolina in 1964, it’s the tale of Lily Owens, a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father, Lily flees with Rosaleen, her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother’s past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters, Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna. Written by Fox Searchlight
Sounds pretty cool, right? Well it’s not what I thought they were seeing. I assumed it was a cartoon with Jerry Seinfeld.
