Ramona & Beezus

I got a great opportunity to take the girls to see the new movie Ramona and Beezus, and we were able to meet up with some really good friends! It’s been a very long time since I’ve even touched any books written by Beverly Cleary, but the movie brought me right back.

I loved how Ramona’s imagination played out on the screen. Everything was so much more vibrant and larger than life, whether she was on the playground or jumping on her bed in her new room.

The girls really enjoyed it, I could hear the giggles at Ramona’s antics, and I know they all liked how she seemed to get into trouble without meaning to, much like they do.

This movie was bittersweet…I don't remember the last time a movie made me laugh so hard and also cry. I didn't know how the kids would take this....with the fathers job loss, potential divorce, moving (basically, our life over the last year). But everything got tied up very neatly and happily for the kids in the end. It is a great sister movie :)

This movie gets two thumbs up from us!
