Query: VERY GOOD, BUT A LITTLE SLOW IN SPOTS!

While 'The Secret Life Of Bees' has some very good characters and an interesting story to tell, I found that the film did drag sometimes and ultimately kept me from really believing in it from beginning to end. It's a good film with some very good performances, but I have seen better films of this nature and that is why I give it a 4 star rating. It's worth seeing, but I don't see this movie becoming one of those films you watch every year.
