Ramona and Beezus


This film, based on the Beverly Cleary books, starring Selena Gomez (Beezus) and Joey King (Ramona) as sisters who have a love-hate relationship, as Ramona is on an everlasting quest to do something right--especially when it's coming to helping her family save their house after her dad loses his job. Her imagination is very vivid and active.

This is a very unique kid's movie that will remind many people of how they were when they were kids themselves. The humor is that of a film from 10 or more years ago--yet it is very modern in its own way. This film should make you laugh or something is wrong with you. The acting is terrific throughout in this film, and the chemistry between actors is perfect. It portrays a very real version of how families interact with each other. It recognizes their imperfections as well as displays a genuine example of the typical interactions of the American family.

The film is full of great messages to take risks and "color outside the lines"--among others. It has great lessons for kids, and adults should like it as well. couldn't find anything wrong with this film.

Overall Grade: A+
