I noticed a lot of parents and their children dissappointed  this movie , because they were expecting something else. Blame it on the promotion wing of Disney or yourself for not researching it a bit more.

 There is the question on whether the content of this movie is appropriate for young children. Judging from the trailers, I understand why parents were mad at Disney for misleading viewers. But at the same time, parents should always do diligence in researching a movie a little more beforehand. Judging a movie by its trailer, especially if you are taking your kids, is not the wisest of moves.

I think this movie is wonderful for adults and children alike. It deals with some major issues in new and creative ways. Jess and Leslie deal with their problems by recreating them in an imaginary world where they can be the things they aren't in real life. This gives them the strength to deal with them in the real world.

The more serious issues are handled in a way that parents can appreciate as not too "adult" for their children, and children as not too "grown-up" for them to grasp.

Fans of the book will be happy to know that CGI effects do not overshadow the themes of the book, and though they make up a large part of the trailer, they actually make up less than a third of the movie.

Kids and adults, be warned : bring the tissues.  ( as my frd, Rambosster was crying while she watched this movie)
