    This movie EVEN had ME crying...my daughter said she liked it...she laughed a little, but I don't think she was COMPLETELY ready for this movie yet...maybe in a year? It was funny too, and showed how kids can solve a crime. Good depiction of the Great Depression, when basically EVERYONE was poor!

    Overdrawn characters brought to life by poor overacting. Good enough for little children, but not much else there to grab a hold of as a narrative.

    I'm adorable and blond! Let's have adventures that parents will find inoffensive and that will keep the children in a numbed down state of apathy for the duration of the film.

    Abigaile Breslin was cute for a little while. Now I'm just sick of her. She is nothing like Kit is supposed to be.

    This is not a movie for boys, but the girls loved it. I was kind of hoping that they would want to see Wall-e. But I'm glad we saw this one. It is really good. It's kind of sad throughout though! It's about the depression!

    Movies intended for young girls usually centre on fancy clothes, fairy tale love and unrealistic portraits of life. Kit Kittredge: An American Girl focuses on none of those things...

    Breslin is wonderful as the bright and inquisitive Kit. Having first captured moviegoers' hearts in Little Miss Sunshine, here she achieves just the right balance of sweet and aggressive that her ambition and convictions require. Although she treads the line of know-it-all, which bright-eyed children tend to do, she never crosses over to annoying.

    The adults in the film, particularly Cusack, turn themselves over to the story's charm. O'Donnell sports some grays and a very natural fatherly concern, while Ormond genuinely appears to be just trying to roll with the punches. And Tucci is quite the believable professional illusionist. But Cusack is fantastic as the zany librarian, staying just under the threshold of too over-the-top (even though it often looks like she has to use the ladies room). Most of the adults are eventually reduced to bumbling caricatures but nothing less could be expected of a film aimed at kids...

    My middle daughter, her friend and I went to go see it and it was a really good movie. It made you think about the great depression and what they went through. It is a must see movie.
