Finally a movie that is for the whole family! I am a mom of a 9yr old girl and a 7yr old boy and we all loved it. I remember reading the books as a kid and my daughter is currently reading her 1st one now (which is why she wanted to see the movie) and I think they did a wonderful job putting the book to life! It wasn't too far fetched, but it was good to see a family go through life's struggles and how they deal with it. The only part I would warn about is there is a sad part that my son (who is very sensitive) had a hard time with. Nothing to terrible though. Overall we all loved the movie!
