Bridge to Terabithia Movie
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
My mom rented this movie for my eight-year-old "baby" sister and I to watch while she was at work. At first my sister, Mariah thought is was rather boring and dumb, but as the movie went on she started to like it. By the time she had finished the movie she was crying about Jess's loss and hit the remote to watch it again, this time with Mom. SHE END UP ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!
I read the book two times, the first being in 6th grade and the second being in 8th grade. The movie stayed very much with the plotline of the book, unlike some movies. Ever watch a movie and decide to read the book later on only to find that book and movie had different plotlines? Frustrating and disappointing, isn't it!
I especially loved that this movie taught about accepting others' differences, friendship, courage, imagination, dealing with grief and bereavement (loss of a loved one), and respect. The special effects were absolutely wonderful and very cool, and added a surreal, imaginative yet realistic dimension to the movie. Everybody who worked on this film did an excellent job---very talented group! Yes, Jess's dad does use some "colorful language," but there is profanity in the book too. (Not that it makes it right or okay. In fact I actually went to my 6th grade teacher about the "bothersome language" when I read it for the first time.) For those who find swearing bothersome or offensive, you may want to edit out the "bad" language while watching this movie.
FUN FAMILY FILM FOR ALL AGES! HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEEING THIS ONE!
