Ramona and Beezus (2010)

Ramona Quimby (Joey King) is a young girl with a wild imagination. Her big sister Beezus (Selena Gomez) is eternally embarrassed by her along with other things in her life. Their father (John Corbett) loses his job and the family starts to have money troubles. But it's the kind of movie where everything eventually works out right.

This is a great movie for younger girls. It's good clean fun with a couple of wholesome young actresses. Joey King is especially adorable. Her sunny outlook will win you over. And it's got the super sweet Ginnifer Goodwin as aunt Bea.

It's a good movie to watch with your little kids. The money troubles provide a little bit of drama, but it never gets out of hand to darken the movie. It's message that everything will turn out alright is most fitting for the little ones.

Fmovies: This movie, based on the books (already this will eliminate 90% of the movie-going audience) by Beverly Cleary, has no explosions, no talking dogs, no cutesy kids who sass their parents and display a maturity rivaling most 30 year olds nor a child with preternatural smarts who ends up preventing nuclear war etc. What it does have is a smart mom, a cool dad, a disaffected teenage sister, a baby, a cool auntie and some normal children. It's a story about a family who struggle with unemployment, job dissatisfaction, marital discord, self esteem, and bad sprinklers, as seen through the eyes of a nine year old girl whose idea of a bad word is "guts".

Still with me?

If you enjoy movies like Iron Giant and quality children's entertainment-you will LOVE this movie. Sadly, the people who complain the loudest about the film industry and the shallow values they encompass will probably miss this one-don't be among them. Take everybody. When I attended, everyone in the audience was clapping and crying at the end of the film , children and adults alike. Yes, it's a "little film"-meaning there are no blue aliens, no 3d stun shots, no cartoon characters passing off moral pablum as deep though. What it is a sweet story about real people. I wish there had been more people of color in the film, but I'll settle for some fantastic actors and a lovely message. See it and tell all your friends.

This movie was adapted from Beverly Cleary's novels about Ramona Quimby and Beezus Quimby. This film is fine fare for parents and young children. The actress, Joey King, who plays Ramona does a fabulous and believable job. Selena Gomez plays her big sister, Beatrice better known as Beezus does a good job as well. The cast is first rate for a children's movie. Anyway, I would have loved to have seen Beverly Cleary in a cameo if possible. Sandra Oh does a good job in playing Ramona's teacher. John Corbett and Bridget Monahan play parents to Ramona. Ginnifer Goodwin plays beloved Aunt Beatrice. The story has it's moments at times but the film is overall enjoyable and ideal for family viewing. The film itself could use some improvement in writing but it's well done and I hope you enjoy it.

Ramona and Beezus fmovies. Ramona and Beezus on the whole was a charming movie. Many kids I know (myself included) loved the Ramona books because she was active, she did things, and things happened because of her. Ramona in the movie had the dramatic flair I always associated with the Ramona of my imagination.

The movie was well cast and everyone seemed to fit their character well. That being said, it was a little wordy in places -- Ramona was a do-er not a big-conversation-er! Some of the superfluous talking should have been removed to add in more of Ramona's adventures and take on day to day life.

We loved that Ramona's idea of a really bad word was "guts"! As a parent I'm grateful that was the only "bad" word in the movie! I'm glad my kids saw it, I'm glad we saw it.

It seemed like a too good to be true of a movie, I thought it wouldn't be as good as advertised. Mainly I wanted to watch it b/c Selena Gomez is in it, but I love it for reasons beyond her! I could also relate to her because she was closer to my age. It surprised me and got to my heart. It is definitely a feel good family type of movie. I really like the dynamic between Ramona and Beezus, and how we see them bond and their relationship develop & improve. If I see it on TV once in a while, I'm glad to watch it again. It also keeps pretty lightweight most of the time while dealing with struggles and problems. I recommend this!

After seeing the trailer I thought the film will be good and to be honest it really did not disappoint me at all. I decided to see this film because i am a fan of both Selena Gomez and Joey King and they both are playing in it. I thought it is movie with Selena as key role. But the actual person who truly steals the show is Joey King. JOEY KING gave an awesome performance as a very funny and extremely creative and imaginative kid girl. I really liked the idea of Ramona as "guts" a really bad word..hahhah... lolz! JOEY KING has an extraordinary performance. Selena looks more beautiful in this film. It is really a cute and funny story. It shows the family connections and love among the family members in an awesome manner. Strictly no SPOILERS in the film. COMEDY, ADVENTURE, FANTASY,SENTIMENT, ENTERTAINMENTÂ… what not..!? Everything is in the movieÂ… Not only kids, everybody of any age would like this movieÂ… I loved it..! I am 20 and i like to watch it again...
