If you make a movie about a girl and the summer vacation of her dreams, of COURSE the critics will pan it! I mean, most critics can't even REMEMBER being innocent little apple cheek'ed shrimps trying desperately to NOT have a suckie summer.
Judy Moody will charm the girls, frustrate most of the young boys in the audience, make the dads ask why they're there and the moms will be whispering thankful prayers that their girls aren't as messy and overbearing as little Judy. That said, it was a cute movie. Not the most incredible epic amazing film I have ever seen, but better than that Dogs and Cats 2 movie where I fell asleep and even THEN I hated it.
Judy and her friends create a "Thrill Chart" where each cool activity counts for Thrill Points and they have to reach 100 points by the end of the summer. Things start out well for everyone EXCEPT Judy and by the end of the summer, she's grasping at straws to get out of her "0" balance. Judy's little annoying brother Stink ends up being her saving grace as they decide to set out on an adventure to CAPTURE BIGFOOT. Do they manage to pull the summer out of it's slump? You'll have to take a 3rd, 4th or 5th grade girl you know to the dollar theater to find out! Or wait about 30 seconds...it'll be on DVD in about....NOW.
