****GRANDMA J'S REVIEW ****

This movie was fantastic! I was surprised at how many people were in the theatre at 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. There were more adults than children, another surprise.
Abigail Breslin is magnificent as Kit, and her command of the other characters was very entertaining. There was just enough heart-tugging, to almost make me cry...just enough humor to make you laugh, and just enough mystery and suspense to hold your interest. Even though I knew the movie would have a happy ending, I started to wonder how that was going to happen, and was pleasantly pleased. So,
readers, if you are looking for something light and entertaining, give it a whirl!

FRIDAY MATINEE ON MONDAY
because that' what I promised you


KIT KITTREDGE..AN AMERICAN GIRL

OK. What does it mean when you (meaning me) know more about a retired person's compound(yours) than the movies her own daughter should be seeing but isn't, because mother is clueless due to constant internet addiction?

Please don't answer that question.

CBW, This is your lucky day. I probably know less about my own compound than I know about your daughters taste in movies.....or maybe that's burgers.

See? I couldn't have answered your question even if I tried.

Thanks for the review! I have been wanting to take the kids, but I was scared that I would be bored to death! I do like my "R" movies :)

Didnt you just love it???

I think this is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Really great on many levels. I think it is a movie that any age would enjoy....men and women, and children alike.

Honestly, every child should see this movie, there are great lessons, and even though it is set in a different era, so much is relevant today.

BTW, did you see Pooper's commercial? It was on in our theater when we saw this movie...and you can see him when it shows on the big screen.

Carol, Will would LOVE this movie! There are lots of boys and hobos and a tree house, and a dog named grace, and a monkey! Beyond Kit's driving desire to be a journalist, I think the boys are more entertaining.
