Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

invisibleunicornninja I enjoyed the books when I was little, so I watched this movie. It was actually decent. It wasn't that bad but it could've been worse. The story is a bit bland and the acting could've been better and this movie gets really boring, but it is a competent family movie. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you liked the books you might be entertained.

Python Hyena Ramona and Beezus (2010): Dir: Elizabeth Mitchell / Cast: Joey King, Selena Gomez, John Corbett, Bridget Moynahan, Ginnifer Goodwin: Extremely low budget family farce that bares little to the two sisters. The film is more about Ramona and her dealing with her father's job loss and the possibility of losing her home. Directed by Elizabeth Mitchell with cheap animated sequences that don't fly. I've seen better production in kindergarten art classes. Joey King is wonderful as Ramona, an elementary school student who attempts to help save her home but constantly messes up. She has charm and wit stealing every scene she is in. In that less central role in the title Selena Gomez plays sister Beezus who discovers romance resulting in predictable elements. It is a good role but the movie isn't about her nor the relationship with Ramona. She is the market item to sell the movie. John Corbett plays the father with a hidden talent amongst his optimism. Bridget Moynahan as their mother is underused. She is basically there when convenient playing the loving busy mom baring no personality. Ginnifer Goodwin is cast as an aunt in a role that is not likely to be a highlight in her budding career. Aimed at young girls who likely listen to Gomez and to that audience it may appeal but to adults it is a complete waste of time. It is very predictable and done on the cheap but its limited target audience may not care. It teaches children that being small can accomplish great things but unfortunately the story, being small and simple accomplishes absolutely nothing of any great importance. Score: 4 ½ / 10

Neddy Merrill Early on in ?Ramona and Beezus? you come across a character mostly unused in modern popular culture ? The Decent Father. Most recent father characters fall into one of four archetypes in the following order of frequency: (1) Incompetent Dad ? Homer Simpson and Peter Griffen have influence a generation of screenwriters to portray fathers as dithering man-children ? Clark Griswald comes immediately to mind, (2) Superfluous Dad ? writers throw in a dad who has few lines, shows little emotion and are played by indistinguishable journeyman actors - ?The Blind Side? is the best recent example, (3) Absent Dad ? the father character is played as negative space, his absence a major plot point ? ?Precious?? is the best recent example and (4) Angry Dad ? the father is either openly evil or secretly evil ? an older example is ?Say Anything.? The father/child relationship has been so degraded that the most honest relationship portrayal out there is Miley Cyrus and her real father Billy Ray on their Disney television show. So even though the film is overly long, often dull and lacks a compelling overarching plot driver (there is the subplot about whether the Quimby?s will lose their house but it is half-hearted), I am going to recommend it. The film deals with real relationships (the parents fight), real problems (a record number of people are facing foreclosure) and job loss (15.7million people are facing this in the U.S. as of this writing). Let?s hope the film is successful and we see more of this type of light family dramedy.

mikewang111 I normally don't post reviews on IMDb, but I feel I had to make an exception for this film. When I first watched this movie, I didn't think it would be that special, but it turned out to be one of my favorites! Joey King does an amazing job portraying Ramona, a well-intentioned girl who sometimes gets in to trouble (without really meaning to). I won't spoil anything about the movie, but it has some really touching moments in it, and there are a lot of cute scenes showing the bond between Ramona and her dad, as well as between Ramona and her sister Beezus. Although I don't usually cry at movies, this movie made me cry several times. I think this is a perfect family film that can be enjoyed by anyone, not just kids! I'm 22, and I loved it. Go see it, you won't be disappointed.
