Bridge to Terebithia

We took our 11 yo daughter to see this movie tonight. It was very well done. The main characters (and even the peripheral ones) are well cast.

I would characterize the movie as bittersweet. It has some serious issues depicted in it.

I had not read the book before we went. I had seen the previews. My 11 yo said her teacher told the class the spoiler from the book, if it were in the movie (and it is.) She told me what it was about 10 mins before it occurred in the movie. I was just as glad for the heads up, as I prefer to know than not know. If I had known ahead of time, I’m not sure I would have gone or taken her, but I’m just as glad we did. It has received good reviews.

I suppose our 9 yo could have seen the movie, but I’m just as glad she had other plans.

I’d be interested in knowing if you have taken younger children to see this movie, or if you have seen it yourself, if you think you could take a younger child, and if so, what age. And, have you read the book? I’m guessing the movie will become a classic, especially for older kids.
