DVD Reviews of Bridge to Terabithia (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: please spare your children this movie!
Summary: 1 Stars
I just got the movie today to see with my children (9 and 6) for a special event on Mother's day. The movie promises to invite children into a fatasy story. Instead you get a MOST DEPRESSING movie about a boy and a girl being bullied around in school and the boy gets yelled at from his Dad and then all of the sudden the heroine dies!
You keep thinking this is a Walt Disney movie for children, she must come back alive or something and so we watched it to the dreadful end. When the movie ends the boy finally enters the fantasy world that we waited for for 90 long minutes. Then he smiles even though his best friend is still dead and that is it.
I cannot relate how anyone would want to see a downer like that.
DVD Review: magnificent and wildly inventive
Summary: 5 Stars
A well-made, well-envisioned (it's based on a book) adventure family film about growing up and being a kid at the same time. DVD Review: Zooey!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I admit, I was just watching this for Zooey Deschanel.
But!
I must say, as kid's movies go, this was pretty good. It is about a sullen boy, who has plenty to be sullen about. He's grounded (as in, he's interested in things) and self motivated, thanks to the influence of his father. That is where the movie's family appeal begins, but there is plenty more. Friendship is the theme of the movie, and we learn how to accept the worst life has to offer. The baby sister is an absolute doll, and the little girl who plays "Leslie" is charming.
As others have said already, the movie was really poorly presented by the previews, etc. The fantasy element serves only to parallel and add color to the trials of our heroes, similar to Pan's Labyrinth.
When and if I have kids, this is going in their dvd library. 5 stars, because I like to reward good behavior.
DVD Review: Not at all what I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I figured Bridge to Terabithia was going to be along the same lines as the Chronicles of Narnia. It is not at all like that. It is about a poor boy named Jess who lives out in the country. He constantly gets picked on at school and is a loner. He gets a new neighbor, Leslie. Her parents are writers. They became best friends and spend most of their time playing in a made up world called Terabithia. When tragedy strikes, it is really shocking and will make you cry (I had no idea it was going to happen). I think parents should be aware of what happens before they let their young children watch this movie. It might be tough for some to handle. This is a very good movie, just really sad. DVD Review: Heart rending
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great film! I am 55 and not prone toward sentimentality, but my face was streaming with tears after watching it. It made me think of my own childhood and the recent death of my best friend, Dennis. I know the ending was supposed to be uplifting, but my heart was truly broken. Rarely have I seen a "kid's film" hit me the way this did. The death of Jesse was unbearable.

Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 08/15/2008 Run time: 96 minutes Rating: PgBased 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
