    We watched this movie with our 10 year olds. Good theme about bullying, being strong, and keeping your imagination. There is a sad situation in the movie that may stoke a cord with easily emotional children. Best of all- the themes in the movie can help spark several family conversations. Kids relate well to the themes, good scenery, and adventurous.

    This movie started out seeming as if it were going to have a moral of you can do anything with enough imagination which is what I thought was going to be though out the movie. I have not read the book so did not know the story. That was not exactly the case, to a point yes but there is a sharp turn in the movie toward the end. We enjoyed the bulk of this movie but toward the end where it takes it sharp turn it lost us and we have never watched it a second time. I would not recommend it for small children there is some stuff that is way over their head and will likely just upset them or confuse them at best. (spoiler alert* stop reading if you do not want to know what happens in the movie) I would not have let my small girls watch this movie if I had known that the girl was going to up and die in the end in a stupid accident that should not have even happened. The whole thing seemed forced and just plain awful to me. It just seemed like they killed the character off for shock value (I do not know if she died in the book or not or if the author of the book did it for the same reason of shock value or what I can only speak toward the movie) I just felt that it was not necessary and I hate movies that get you invested in a character only to kill them off in the end in a stupid did not do any good other than to upset people type move. sorry.... this is not a movie that has ever left the shelf a second time in our house in the last several years since I first got it.

    I rented this initially, ignoring it in the theaters, because it was promoted as a Narnia clone, and my kids had no interest in seeing it. When I got it home, I had NO idea what to expect, and I popped it in one late night to watch it because it was due back the next day. I was wondered, surprised, and crying like a baby by the end. I have NEVER had any movie hit me the way this one did. No, not even my girl...I went and hugged my wife and kids afterwords and told them how much I loved them. This movie is SO important on so many levels, but it would not be powerful without the wonderful acting of the main hero and heroine...they give performances as real, convincing and as moving as any adult Ive ever seen, and perhaps even more so. This movie is about growing up, opening your mind, living life to its fullest for every moment, making friends, losing friends, making memories, making families, using your imagination, and discovery. I CANNOT recommend this movie highly enough. For those who have seen the newer ads and are scared away by the potential tear-jerking, just know that its never gratuitous, and that, no matter what, you WILL be a better person after watching this movie...guaranteed.

    My children read this book in school and had to do a report on it. They watched the movie before the final paper was due and enjoyed it for the 3rd time. It makes me cry everytime at the end. It is a powerful movie and good for the kids to experience what it is like to lose someone you love. Death is a part of life and I feel like this was handled well in the movie.

Based on Katherine Paterson"s young-adult novel and filmed in picturesque New Zealand, Bridge to Terabithia has lessons to impart about empathy and self-expression, but the tone is never heavy-handed. Jesse (sleepy-eyed Josh Hutcherson, Zathura), a fifth-grade loner, lives in the country with his parents and four sisters, including pesky May Belle (Bailee Madison), who adores him. His strict father (Robert Patrick, The Terminator 2) works in a hardware store. Money is tight and classmates make fun of his hand-me-downs, so Jesse finds refuge in running and drawing. Everything changes when two writers and their daughter Leslie (wide-eyed AnnaSophia Robb, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) move in next door. Leslie is faster than all the boys, which initially puts Jesse off, but the two soon bond over their love of make-believe. In the forest, they find a creek that can only be crossed by rope. Leslie names the land on the other side Terabithia, where they imagine themselves rulers of the kingdom. Jesse and Leslie also connect with their unconventional music teacher, Ms. Edmonds (Zooey Deschanel, Elf), who encourages their creativity. Despite the tension at home, Jesse"s personal life is finally coming together when the unthinkable happens. Will he revert to his anti-social ways or will he grow from the experience? Though aimed at all ages, pre-school students may find Terebithia"s creatures frightening. For grade-school kids and up, however, there"s much to savor in this smartly written, sensitively acted film. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
