  • Summary: Judy Moody was in a mood… a best-summer-ever mood! R A R E ! But that was before she found out that Mom and Dad were heading to California and Aunt Awful was coming to stay. Not to mention, her two best friends were going splitsville on her, for the whole entire summer! Will she, Judy Moody, be stuck with her little brother Stink? Stink, who has Bigfoot on the brain? Just when summer is starting to look Bor-ing with a capital B— Eureka!—Judy Moody (with a little help from Aunt Opal) comes up with the most thrill-a-delic plan ever. She challenges her friends in a thrill-point race for the most mega-rare NOT bummer summer. Can Frank Eats-Paste Pearl help save summer? The race is on! All she has to do is…learn to walk a tightrope, surf a monster wave, ride the Scream Monster—no hands!—make it all the way through an Evil Creature Double Feature, and survive… a poop picnic! Take a few thrills and chills, add a treasure hunt for Judy’s teacher, a midnight stakeout, a runaway ice-cream truck, and a chase scene with a dash of Bigfoot. What have you got? The Judy Moodiest summer ever! (Smokewood Entertainment Group)… Expand

    A young Aussie actress who seems as all-American as a Magic 8 ball, successfully walks the tightrope from precocious to exuberant, never once falling into obnoxiousness. That could describe this crackerjack of a kids' movie as well.

    The whole film is a celebration of messy, colorful, vigorous creativity, echoed in Cynthia Charette's gloriously cluttered hodgepodge production design, with barely a product placement in sight.

    Though the lead actress, newcomer Jordana Beatty, gives a spunky performance as third-grader Judy, her character's borderline bratty charm wears thin fast. Mostly it's undercut by the movie's irritatingly antic slapstick style.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Judy moody is a fun,exciting,and funny movie. It's great for kids. I love the movie and I am sure you will too! It so creative and wonderful. It's and exciting adventure through Judy Moody's summer. They are such good actors and actresses. Just watch it! It might even give you some ideas for the summer. The only thing that you might want to worry about but maybe not is that they say a word that you might or might not consider a curse word.… Expand

    I enjoyed LeahAndNic's review. Right on. I saw it with a full house opening week - and, while I would have enjoyed a few more quieter, less frenetic moments in the film - it thoroughly entertained the kids - and adults - in the audience - including me. The CG graphics were a fun nod to a world-gone-gamified - and, aside from some unnecessary fixation on poop jokes (of course, getting some of the best "ewwws!" and laughs from the kids), the film provided a playful romp with decent messages. Loved that Aunt Opal is a walking creativity-maven. And if this film gets kids reading the book series it was based on, that's not such a bummer summer either.… Expand
