    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

    Although I'm generally a fan of movies that choose to star girls (of any age) as their lead subjects, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer simply strikes the same whiny chord over and over.

    Judy Moody has some enjoyable ingredients. The cast, for instance, rocks it, especially young Aussie actress Jordana Beatty as the title character, a bottle rocket with unruly red hair.

    Shrill and charmless. I didn't believe a word of it. I wanted to spank it and banish it to its room.
