Review of Bridge to Terabithia (2007) by Patriciab. — 18 Feb 2007
One of the best live action kids movies I have ever seen. A real treasure. I was a fan of the book, yet my hopes weren't high when I saw the trailer which emphasized the effects... but the movie more than delivers on the delicate evolution of Jess and Leslie's special friendship.
The casting was pitch-perfect and the director made the excellent choice of giving the story a timeless feel, rather than trying to update it and pander to the kids out there who idolize Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton.
This is also a wonderful film for people in their 30's and 40's who grew up reading the book - it really transports you back to your childhood, thanks to the costuming and set design. Bridge to Terabithia is a film worth recommending to kids (who can handle the sad parts) and adults.
