Lynne Speer decided to take her experience by moving around on her mountain camp break. Lin appears to be suffering from her father’s death, and now she is trying to find peace with her new surroundings while trying to cope with her father’s death.
With spiritual bonding activities, like rolling into camp on Noah's ark, and keeping-the-faith motivational messages, the movie is a religious diatribe of biblical proportions.
[Director Maclain] Nelson fills "Once I Was a Beehive" with plenty of humor, poking gentle fun at camp quirks while also admiring the spirit of togetherness camping imparts to the girls.
Once I Was a Beehive is a film that benefits greatly from its core casting. Both Warner and Smith are strong in their roles, pushing past easy characterizations to bring out some very honest moments.
