Review of Ramona and Beezus (2010) by Lara C — 19 Feb 2011

I love it!!!

Follows the misadventures of young grade schooler Ramona Quimby from Beverly Cleary's popular children's book series.

I enjoyed so much. It's a perfect family movie, full of imagination, funny moments and emotion. I let a tier roll down my cheek, even though the movie isn't sad at all. It have a happy ending of course. Ramona is the kid that I would like to have one day. She would be a lot of work, but she would bring so many beautiful and unique ways with her. Joey King played Ramona perfectly. She really gave her the depth and uniqueness that Ramona possess for all of us to see.

Selena Gomez was adorable as her sister Beezus. John Corbett and Bridget Moynahan awesome as their parents. Ginnifer Goodwin as aunt Bee and Josh Duhamel as her old high school flame neighbor Hobart were so sweet and cute. They all made me laugh countless of times.

It was so good to see Sandra Oh again without hospital sergeant wardrobe and a smile while she played Mrs. Meacham a school teacher.

There was yet another character that draw my attention and because of her I would never look at children driving a tricycle so careless like I used to. Seems to me you can get hurt just standing by, there should be a speed tickets involved. Ruby Curtis as Willa Jean, a little cousin of Hobart drove that tricycle all the time and was responsible for the many of accidents around her neighbors sidewalk. She is also one of my favorite characters, mean little pixie.

Music is joyful. There so much color and nicely shown inspiration and imagination of the childs mind which make this movie so sweet and rare.

Love it and I recommend it to anyone who like sweetness to check it out.

Beezus: Ramona, you're your own person. You don't care about coloring inside the lines.

Ramona Quimby: It really depends on the picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Bob Quimby: Why don't we draw the longest picture ever?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

Bob Quimby: Ramona, your sister has a report card. Doesn't that mean you should have one too?

Ramona Quimby: Uh... No.

Mrs. Meacham: I hope you are enjoying third grade. You may be here for a while.

Henry Huggins: But, she keeps you on your toes.

Beezus: You are so welcome to borrow her for, like, ten years.

Enjoy! =).
