Critics Consensus: The Secret Life of Bees has moments of charm, but is largely too maudlin and sticky-sweet.

Reviews

Radio Times

Stella Papamichael

Like the rank and file of bees, everyone has their place here and they work towards an end product that is sweet but best enjoyed by children.

The Secret Life of Bees is a pleasant little film that reduces overwhelming ideas into light emotional drama.

Richard Propes

A wonderful film for families.

The mawkish possibilities inherent in the story are mostly averted, thanks to the high quality of acting.

The story was okay, but I think there was an underlying mammy factor that rubbed me the wrong way.
