Spellbound Reviews
Hilarious documentary.
I am absolutely in love with this movie. It's a real documentary, not a mocumentary, but it is hilarious. The special features on the DVD aren't amazing, but the movie itself is absolutely wonderful.
Eye opening ;-)
Spellbound was fantastic. It really showed Spelling Bee's in a different light. It showed kids from varied backgrounds competing for the 1999 Nationals. It showed the pressures they face from their families (but not like the little girl pagents where the moms are totally heavy handed) and the pressure they place upon themselves. You feel their pain when they incorrectly spell a word and you feel their joy when they are right. It's an interesting look at a phenomenon that we all think is nerdy (and to some degree it is), but in reality, these kids are amazing. Most of them are totally composed and mature and they come from normal backgrounds and loving families. This is a good documentary that will hook you in. I really enjoyed it more than I thought.
