Adventure ; judy moody and the not bummer summer

In summer, and Judy Moody Bummer PAS, a bounce house is inextricably tied to the rear wheel of a car. The car thunders down a side street, the castle of the trailer, and a strong right hand, sending the rebound falls boiler tower moon on the lawn. A child comes out, maybe six years, with the widest smile I've ever seen. As head of twenty years, I was surprised at how this child came to break his neck, but as someone who remembers the taste of adventure girl, I can not stop smiling. It's moments like these do not pop Bummer. Unfortunately, this impulse to reflect the world through the eyes of adolescents ever become a recurring theme, leaving Judy Moody of any substance.

Children are usually not negotiate world peace. They do not divulge nuclear secrets and do not legislate. Are close to home, usually in an area that has no immediate impact outside their circle of friends, but the lack of relevance to the rest of the world is meaningless. Goals, dreams and aspirations of a child are equally important to him at the time that any world-term visions term or long-term leader. Therefore, the mission is to make children's film with as much care as the child of all I want is. Judy Moody, and PAS Bummer never does. It is very disjointed and disorganized. What begins as a goal to earn "points of emotion finally becomes a story about the capture of Bigfoot, which makes the first half and unnecessary prequel to the back half of a flurry of shots. Sometimes, Judy Moody is shining with the excitement of big eyes of a child, but more often than not, as the brother of the protagonist, is immature and disorganized.

Judy Moody (Jordana Beatty) is found to have been a nuisance not. With the last day of school approaches, she organized a checklist should not miss the challenges one-to-be-awesome for her and her friends to complete during their long vacation. Unfortunately, best friends forever sheet rock (Ryan Garrett) and Amy (Taylar Hender) forgot to tell that they are lame and go to circus camp and Borneo, respectively. Depressed and unhappy with the idea of ​​not having another boring friend Frank (Preston Bailey) and her younger brother Stink (Parris Mosteller) to leave Judy begged her parents to let her join a circus camp. They do not) because it sounds dangerous and b) because Aunt Opal (Heather Graham) comes to stay for the summer. They were called to a family emergency in California, leaving his sister hippie mother to see the house.

Aunt Opal can not be the best chef in cleaning, or discipline, but it is certainly fun to spend time. Offering a book on Bigfoot stench and Judy ring mood, which quickly won the hearts of children and convinced Judy to send an email to friends and to continue the adventure of long distance. They play, but as Amy and Rocky own feelings accumulate points, Judy begins to Looe faith in yourself. Each of their adventures wrong and before she knows that at the end of the summer in a few weeks. This may well be Bigfoot or anything.

I like the idea of ​​a girl power, his brother and aunt dying to spend the summer trying to catch Bigfoot. It seems that the type of trash that can be raised for a third grader idealistic. The problem is that Judy did not want to catch Bigfoot. She just wants to win this contest stupid emotion points proposed earlier this summer, and without the total investment in the goal in question, it is impossible for the public service. Children often have the attention. One day they want to join the band, the next they want to play baseball - and in real life, but in the context of the film, dizziness such boring and ephemeral. There must be something to tie everything together, and the excitement playlist is not strengthened enough to hold one-thirty.

Like the smile, the boy without a name dragged through the house full of enthusiasm, Judy Moody is filled with many non-essential plot asides. From time to time work, but most times not. On several occasions during the film, the animated sequences are interspersed with dreams. There are still some words to appear on the screen, but no real rhyme or reason, he was mostly in place, rushed and disorganized. It's a shame. There are enough good ideas in the Judy Moody to offer a captivating film. Maybe next summer
