Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

sheldonchorta I was a somewhat fan of the Judy Moody books, and the spin-off series of books about her brother. So when I heard about this movie, I was happy to see someone adapt the words in the books to a visual medium. I didn't see it in theaters but I saw it on Disney Channel with my little sister and my reaction was along the lines of "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" and "Well it could've been worse." The story is somewhat original: a girl takes up a challenge in which she must do as many strange, creative, and fun activities to score points. But meanwhile, she must handle the quirks that come from her little brother and her Aunt, who helps her in her challenge. Hijinx ensue. That is a good story for kids. The editing is all over the place. A lot of the shots are quickly done, that whenever a slower scene comes on, I feel like I'm watching another film! The acting is OK for a film like this, but they should have given the actress who plays Judy more direction. So, when all is said and done, the film is just… OK. The acting: it's OK! The editing and directing: it's OK. The story: once again, it's OK. Unless you want to watch a film for you and your kids to watch and get sucked into, I say watch it. Especially when your summer is NOT a bummer!

Python Hyena Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer (2011): Dir: John Schultz / Cast: Jordana Beatty, Heather Graham, Parris Mosteller, Jaleel White, Janet Varney: About as amateur as a family kiddie film can get. It regards appreciating the little things in life, that hopefully doesn't involve attending this film. Jordana Beatty plays Judy Moody whose summer was scheduled to be full of dares until her friends all travel elsewhere for the summer leaving her with her Bigfoot obsessed younger brother, Stink. Once her parents answer a call to go aid another family member, the kids are left with their Aunt Opal. Directed by John Schultz whose films seem to be made out of a weekly allowance. He previously made such junk as Drive Me Crazy and the idiotic Aliens in the Attic. Schultz may have the best intentions but the special effects here are about third grade level. Beatty holds her own as Moody whose enthusiasm for adventure is only temporarily sidetracked by disappointments. She upholds the theme of the film. Heather Graham as Aunt Opal is fetching and sunny but her dealings with the children are questionable especially when one handles what is claimed to be sh*t (and apparently was) at the table. Parris Mosteller plays Stink who is involved with a lot of morons out seeking Bigfoot. And who names their kid Stink anyway? Janet Varney plays his mother, so perhaps some of the blame can be direct towards her. Jaleel White plays teacher Mr. Todd whom the kids hunt for all summer. Had he been smart he would have skipped the film set and avoided another bummer film choice. Score: 3 ½ / 10

dtucker86 I was going to see the new Tom Hanks film today but went and saw this one instead. I don't know, I guess sometimes its good for a middle-aged person like me to do something that brings out the inner child in him. I'm glad I did because this movie is a lot of fun. I saw a heartwarming sight in the theatre, there was a grandmother and her two grandkids watching it. Its nice that there are films you can take your children to and not have to cover their ears or their eyes at certain points. It was good to forget for a while about the problems in the world like the war on terror, my upcoming retirement from the military and the Casey Anthony verdict and just have a few good laughs at a wonderful, simple story about a cute, spunky little girl who just wants to have a "cool" summer (I had a hard time decoding some of the "kid" lingo in the film, they should have subtitles for old fogies like me). I remember the last summer I felt nostalgic about was the summer of 1980 when I was 12. As with all kid movies, they have to throw in a little gross humor like the vomiting on the roller coaster or that disgusting ingredient that gets mixed in with their lunch. A little charmer named Jordana Beatty really shines as Judy and Heather Graham also does a great job as her lovable slightly daft Aunt Opal. The most positive thing about this film SPOILER is how Judy dreaded her Aunt coming to stay at the beginning but they bonded so well and in the end she realized that meeting her and coming to love her aunt was the "coolest" thing of all. Thats a message parents who take their kids to see the film should discuss with them afterwards. The only negative thing I wanted to mention is the fact that Jaleel White is in the film. He was Steve Urkel on Family Matters as a kid. He was televisions first African American nerd! I found him utterly repulsive and annoying As a kid and feel the same way about him as an adult!

Tobias Smith Sometimes things like the economy, gas prices, apocalypse theories, and local news reports can get you down. If you need a pick-me-up, sometimes it helps to see a kid's or family movie. The vision of reckless adventures and colorfully spirited humor can give a person a nostalgic view of the past. Yeah, that works with some kid's movies. This one, on the other hand, made the gas prices look like nothing. Not only were there serious problems with the title, poster, character names and personalities, and overall conflicts of the storyline; but the movie itself sucked too. Anyone who says that the audience wasn't massive enough, or that this movie didn't get enough credit, is horribly wrong. I saw this film with my nephew, who is 8, and he gave up and left the theater after about 30 minutes. And kids love going to the movies. He spent the remaining hour of the film walking around the movie theater lobby eating popcorn. Bottom line, This is definitely the worst theatrically released film of the summer. No questions asked. The writers of this film deserve every poor review and every lost cent. I don't personally believe in 2012, but after seeing this movie, I'm starting to seriously reconsider.
