So I stayed home with the 3 yr. old and my wife took the 8yr. old, my wife just called me and is quite upset, my son is in tears

I now know the ending but wonder if any of you are familiar with the story or saw the movie and reacted like this after seeing it???

read the book in 5th grade!!!! the whole class was like that! The ad campaign makes it out to be a hobbit or narnia movie, its not its more of a coming of age love story for pre-teens. The monsters are all in their heads....and thats not giving away anything.

Anna Sophia Robb is an amazing little actress. She was also in the American Girl Samantha movie and in Because of Winn Dixie.

One of my co-workers took her 8 year old this weekend and he was crying and very upset about it. She said it was way too deep for him.

I'd think 8 would be a little too young for this story...more like 10. There's a great deal of difference between a third grader and a 5th grader.

There sure is, the girls are meaner in 5th grade

I know the title sounds very familiar--- But I have no rememberance of the book or what the story is about? Anyone care to give me the cliff notes?

My son (12) and his friends went to see it this weekend while I was in St. Thomas.....
He called me on the ship to tell me how sad it was, he was very upset about the movie. Maybe the rating should be raised, it seems to get the kids too much. I don't think it's good for them. I personally haven't seen it, but do not want to now that everyone is so upset....I can watch the news for that.
