Starring: Jordana Beatty, Heather Graham
This lively movie is taken from the book of the same name. Judy (Beatty) is a creative, active third grader planning her summer with her best friends. She wants to have a competition to see how many exciting activities each of them can master. Unfortunately her plans are destroyed when she finds out her best friend is going to circus camp and another is going to Borneo. Summer partings happen to children. Parents make plans for summer vacations involving sleep away camp or trips with their children regardless of what a best friend is doing. This seemed like a universal issue.
But Judy is not daunted. She sends the list to her friends via email (do they have email in circus camp?) and each one agrees to participate. Judy has one friend left at home and she and he pair up, scheming to get ‘thrill points” for a variety of adventures. But Judy muffs everything, bringing up last place when she gets a hand from her wacky aunt (Graham).
While the movie is a bit silly in places, it is a warm, amusing romp geared directly to younger children (not 4-year-olds) with no adult issues to cloud the fun. Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer is a movie made totally for kids, ages 7 and up.
With no violence, bad language or sex, this is the perfect summer movie for children. It is fun, entertaining for kids and written from a child’s perspective. There is nothing to object to here except parents might find it boring. Send your children with grandma or a baby sitter.
