Mon journal grave nul

This movie brings back so many memories and i still love the movie to this day. it may not be the most accurate representation of what a kid wants but there a couple things that are extremely on point so i would recommend this movie as even if you find it cringey you'll most definitely have one of the songs stuck in your head all day :)

I found this movie to be energetic and fun. It appealed to both the kids and adults in our house hold. I also felt it was overall positive and sent good messages such as: Working with what you got Standing up to a wrong Learning about what lies behind people's exteriors

I did not find the movie to be creepy...although there were some gross parts. But those gross parts were at a child's level, so noting inappropriate there.

I believe that part of the reason why this movie was such a big hit with our family is because we just turned it on out of the blue....no big anticipation and expectations. Just a nice unexpected treat to watch during our winter break.

Hello Emily alyn Lind and David Mazouz! I'm an upset offended raging customer who dissaponted in their cinematic experience. First I would like to address the "pencil case bug scene" I'm physically and emotionally concerned. Why is it 7th grade pupils pick up bugs carcasses and are fine throughout the movie and they don't contract the Chikungunya virus. Additionally, at my education establishment dancing and mumbling in the middle of class will get you nothing but a bully. Good luck with the rest of your careers with this disappointment.

The young girls who take the major roles in this movie are cute. After that, the movie gets hyperkinetic and creepy. This may be in imitation of the books by Jim Benton. The overall effect is of an effort by people who have little idea of what kids actually want making a movie for kids, but the consumers are the adults around kids who also have no idea what kids want.

Although a few actual insights are tossed in, this movie portrays pre-teen girls as middle-aged women who see the world in bright colors and are overwhelmed by the senseless adult world in which they are expected to take full part. This argues terrible parenting these days and encourages people in the belief that if a child is hysterical, then the proper response is to acknowledge the hysteria as a perfectly normal and rational response. In other words, this movie encourages bad behavior in the name of self expression. How utterly bizarre.

When I was a child, I had confidence in the adults around me and understood that the world was more complicated than I -- as yet -- understood. This movie, by its structure, acknowledges the complications and mocks its subjects for not understanding those complications. It sends two conflicting messages: they are full partners, able to criticize accurately, yet they don't understood what is going on and should be mocked for that. It equates lack of information with stupidity. It's as if Chuck Jones had directed all those Road Runner cartoons and had claimed the audience was coyotes.

We had guests over the night this aired and everyone enjoyed this movie- from adults with no children, parents of tweens and teenagers, grandparents, and kids (both boys and girls) from 11-16. It is a fun and family-friendly musical that has a lot to offer. The 'message' is positive, the humor witty, the songs catchy, and characters well cast. From the actors to the music to the props and set design, overall this was a success! As a parent, I don't think there are any hidden meanings or issues that need to psycho-analyzed, just a lot of musical fun and adventure to be simply enjoyed. I think the fans of the book series will be thrilled- and eager for a second installment!
