| Pros |
Good actresses and actors for the roles and Lilly describing her experiences. |
| Cons |
There were some events in the book that occurred that weren't included in the movie. |
| Bottom Line |
I recommend this movie to people who watch movies and don't mind crying from them. Also to those people who read the book and who want to know about bees. |
