Bumblebee: A touch of honey

On her 18th birthday, Charlie buys herself a junkyard yellow VW Beetle and learns that sometimes you receive more than you ever dreamed of.

It turns out her little fixer-upper is a transformer, a huge yellow robot from another universe that's fleeing evil enemies.

Charlie names her car-bot Bumblebee, the two bond, and save the Earth. What more do you need to know?

Sure there are other transformer flicks, some better than others. But in the Movie Slut's estimation, this flick is a standout thanks to endearing performances by Hailee Steinfeld as Charlie and the lovable Bumblebee voiced by Dylan O'Brien.

The Movie Slut doesn't want to get all feministy here, but she totally appreciated seeing a female action hero
