Judy Moody und der voll coole Sommer (2011)

Judy Moody und der voll coole Sommer: Directed by John Schultz. With Jordana Beatty, Parris Mosteller, Janet Varney, Kristoffer Ryan Winters. Third grader Judy Moody sets out to have the most thrilling summer of her life.

“In spite of a mediocre reception, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer is a thoroughly delightful childrenu0026#39;s movie that brilliantly captures the spirit of the best-selling Judy Moody books. What must be taken into consideration is that this is not a u0026quot;Mass Audienceu0026quot; movie, but a movie for fans of the book series and for anyone who is tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter family film with the same cookie-cutter jokes as the last twenty summer family films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJordana Beatty shines as the spunky, red-haired Judy who is determined to not have a bummer summer, aided by quirky little brother Stink and eccentric Aunt Opal. It is an admittedly simple plot, but an enjoyable one, complimented by great acting (a breath of fresh air for anyone who is a bit tired of the Disney Channel style of child acting) and wonderfully whimsical visuals.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn short, Judy Moody is a childrenu0026#39;s movie, not a surprise when one considers that it is based on a childrenu0026#39;s book series. In an age when so many u0026quot;childrenu0026#39;su0026quot; movies contain off-color jokes and inappropriate content that might amuse the adults but mean very little to children, itu0026#39;s nice to find a childrenu0026#39;s film that can truly be called a childrenu0026#39;s film. Itu0026#39;s a thrilladelic movie for a u0026quot;non-massu0026quot; audience!”
