A tremendous heart and a gentle spirit.

Think of this review as a warning: Oh, you can watch the movie if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Thrillalicious! Thrilladelic! Thrilltastic!

An assault on the senses, a fever nightmare of color explosions and extreme closeups of a child's tonsils while they scream for the ice cream man.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 22, 2013

It's a fun, imaginative movie that is terrific for young kids. I think it encourages children to celebrate creativity.

It's a simple story that treads familiar ground, but it's fun to watch as a family, and it has an impressive amount of energy behind it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 28, 2011

Could be much worse.

A kaleidoscope of bright colours, the best thing about this chirpy comedy for tweens is 12 year old Australian actress Jordana Beatty, whose energy and enthusiasm as the bubbly Judy Moody with the shock of unruly red hair, is contagious

Rammed with speech bubbles, text messages and onscreen status updates, this is a cartoonish car crash.

Only the children manage to survive it. The adults are totally plastic throughout.

Having a middle-aged male review it is probably ridiculous. So is asking its target audience to listen to a middle-aged male's opinions on the subject.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

Ought to go down fine with the 10-year-olds it's aimed at.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 20, 2011

Watchable, sweet natured and fast paced children's comedy enlivened by colourful production design and a charming and likeable performance from newcomer Jordana Beatty...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 20, 2011

For children, Judy's simple suburban pleasures and unsophisticated emotions and tantrums are something that many of them will relate to.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2011

Graham is lovely and Beatty a natural, but if you're not seven years old, it's one long headache.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 12, 2011

Too bad, then, that there's no real joy in all the physical business filling the screen, not even in Judy's animated daydreams. Bummer.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2011

Full color, body excretions, shouting and not much else, "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer" is dull as a summer spent indoors.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 1, 2011
