Bridge To Terabithia

Great

Disney brough out the film version of a book called Bridge to Terabithia, which whether or not you are famliar with the book, you should have either a fun or a not so fun watching this movie. But like anybody looking to see this movie, you should be warned before watching that there is a death that happens in the movie, and I perfer not to spoil it for you, of who dies in this movie, but thankfully the death occurs off the screen. The book was written by Katherine Paterson, and now they have the film version. Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is beginning a new schol year, and spents part of the first morning running around his family's farm. His father Jack Aarons (Robert Patrick) works at a hardware store, and also runs the farm, and is also strict as stern. Jesse has 4 sisters, and he is the only boy out of the family. The new school year brings Jesse 2 teachers, if he has more, the others are off the screen, they are Mrs. Myers (Jen Wolfe) and music teacher Ms. Edmonds (Zooey Deschanel). The first day also brings a new classmate, a girl named Leslie Burke (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's AnnaSophia Robb), who also enters a race that Jesse has been trainning for. But they soon become best friends, along with being neighbors. There are also 2 bullies at the school Scott Hoager (Cameron Wakefield) and Janice Avery (Lauren Clinton) who even stands outside the women's bathroom, and charges $1.00 just to use it. Growing tired of their home, and school lives, Jesse and Leslie creates their own world, which they become rulers of, which they name Terabithia. They keep their new world a secret from their own famiies, which includes Jesse's younger sister May Belle Aarons (Bailee Madison), who just wants to even spent time with them, even if it does bother Jesse.

watched this in my class when I was in elementary school so I brought it to reminisce

A story of friendship and loss. If you only know this from memes, you have to watch the movie and perhaps read the book to get it. Still, it is a heart warming movie of friendship, kids being misfits and finding solace in imagination.This covers the topic of loss and even after all these years, it still holds up. Yet it also shows the necessity of grief. Grief is important and if anything, that is the greatest lesson taught.

I will always love this movie!

Absolutely loved this movie. I will definitely be watching it again.

LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

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 I've ever seen, and perhaps even more so. This movie is about growing up, opening your mind, living life to it's 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 it's never gratuitous, and that, no matter what, you WILL be a better person after watching this movie...guaranteed.
