Editorial Review: Product Description: Fifth grader jesse aarons hopes of becoming the fastest runner in his class are dashed when new girl leslie burke outruns everybody including him. However jess & leslie soon begin a friendship & discover a magical fantasy kingdom in the forest where the two of them reign as king & queen. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 08/15/2008 Run time: 96 minutes Rating: Pg Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - excellent film for kids!!!I took my 8yr old and then 4-yr old to see this. My 4-yr old was more engrossed in the creatures/characters and excitement, while my 8-yr old identified with Jesse and the bully at school. This film set great examples of how children who are not as popular or a little different are treated. We have all heard "kids can be cruel" and this movie shows that along with so many others. After watching the movie, I talked with my 8-yr old and let him ask me any questions about acceptance, bully ... Read More Rating: - The Bridge to Compassion - An Important Life LessonI disagree with the opinion that this film is not for children. Our children have watched this film more than once and it has taught them (and me) something new every time they view it. It becomes an important lesson in living...living each moment and taking nothing for granted. It teaches them about companionship, compassion, loyalty, trust, fairness, equality, the Golden Rule, the importance of parenting, family, dreaming, striving, overcoming obstacles, the cruelty of discrimination and indifference ... Read More Rating:  - Slow and thoughtful childrens drama suffering from a serious case of mislabelingThe advertisers and composers of the trailer for this film did a great deal of disservice to "Bridge to Terabithia" when they likened it to "Narnia" and some of the other YA fantasies out there. While there is a fantasy element in this story, "Bridge" is more about the harsh reality of growing up--and being different in the harsh 'playground world' where sameness=comfort and acceptance. Jesse (Hutcherson) doesn't fit in. He's a growing boy in a household of four sisters and ...

It shows the compassion that children can exhibit to one another. The movie arrived in great condition and I really enjoyed it. Rating: - Love This MovieFun Family movie.
