Coming-of-age films are rampant. Having one based on June Bloom’s popular classic book for over fifty years is refreshing. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

You know you’re in for some honest entertainment. Bloom’s book has affected generations with its timeless coming-of-age story, insightful humor, and candid exploration of life’s biggest questions.

Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, the film follows 11-year-old Margaret, played by Abby Ryder Fortson. Her mother uproots her from her life in New York City to the suburbs of New Jersey.

She goes through puberty’s messy and tumultuous throes with new friends in a new school. She relies on her mother, Barbara, played by Rachel McAdams, who struggles to adjust to life outside the big city, and her adoring grandmother, Sylvia, played by Kathy Bates. Sylvia isn’t happy they moved away and likes to remind them every chance she gets.

Directed by Swinton O. Scott III, Diary of a Wimpy Kid delivers an animated movie filled with similar situations described in Jeff Kinney’s bestselling books. In this 56-minute movie, Greg Heffley, voiced by Brady Noon, enters middle school and potentially explosive problems and hazards to friendships.

Personified as a digital, bulbous boy, Heffley appears to stumble through misadventures with his buddy, Rowley, voiced by Ethan William Childress. Together they ride out the dreadful mishaps of trying to social fit as a middle schooler. As seen in the trailer, the importance of saying “hang out” instead of “come over and play.” Remember not to go near or touch the revolting piece of swiss cheese in the playground.

Whether they’ve read the books, kids will enjoy the movie, and perhaps encourage them to pick up one of Kinny’s books to read since the film is less than an hour. Kids might want to read about more of Heffley’s mishaps.

Thank you, New York Times information about the movie.

Directed by Angus MacLane, Lightyear is part of the Toy Story series. Chris Evans voices Buss Lightyear. The franchise’s popularity sparks a space ranger to the front as the cadet goes to infinity and… beyond. China’s talented Mu Le’en also stars.

I saw a post on Facebook, so it might not be accurate. That said, the story is about the hero, Lightyear. Thus, the Lightyear toy became a product.
