The premise is charming and the cast is solid, but critics agree this gentle romance drama doesn't quite land—it's prettily shot but emotionally flat. Skip it tonight and save your time for something with more spark.
Plot
Dr. Jean Markham returns to the town she left as a teenager to take over her late father's medical practice. When a school-yard scuffle lands Charlie in her surgery, she invites him to visit the hives in her garden and tell his secrets to the bees, as she once did. The new friendship between the boy and the bee keeper brings his mother Lydia into Jean's world.
