This documentary follows eight children of various ages as they compete their ways through regional finals, with their eyes on going to the 1999 Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., and hopefully, winning. Nine million kids try each year, but only 250 make it to the Nationals. The kids seen in this movie come from vastly different backgrounds, from families ranging from the affluent to the struggling (and some in-between).

User Reviews: Spellbound (2003)

  • Overall:

    Fascinating: F-A-S-C-I-N-A-T-I-N-G. Fascinating.

    By Sean  Jun 15, 2006

    Pros: Touching, Everyday subjects, Fun

    Cons: Can be slow, dull for those not into the movie

    I never would have thought a documentary about the Scrips National Spelling Bee would be a great movie, but this certainly is. We watch a group of kids from a variety of backgrounds as they prepare for, and participate in, the most prestigious event ...in the world of spelling. This is a funny, moving movie that is exciting, all the more so because it is true. This opened the doors for the recent burst of spelling bee fever that seems to have swept across the country.
