But at the same time, her tone with Judy and Stink feels slightly condescending, and not "supportive" like someone in her shoes (or on a kid's show) should be. Aunt Opal casts an uncertain shadow of the future on Judy Moody with her antics, as the movie paints her out to be the ultimate free spirit. ![]() Heather Graham as Aunt Opal: Adults don't have to be responsible either. And simply put, Beatty isn't the best child actress, something that becomes clear during a few stiff interactions with her cast mates. She's also a proud bandwagon pirate, stealing Stink's schemes in at least two occasions, which muffles the movie's belief in Judy's magical imagination. Instead of embracing the craziness of her situation, she tells herself she's a failure (which is generally something that audiences don't enjoy watching). Maybe it's because she's an over competitive whippersnapper with some difficult goals, but her attitude can be a bit of a downer. Jordana Beatty as Judy Moody: A tad too moody, Judy can indeed tend to be a bummer. And possibly could it even promote athleticism to kids? Would Heather Graham be on roller skates? ![]() But what does a "not bummer summer" constitute? Hopefully this movie would encourage creativity both with and within the movie. As for me, my inner-child and outer-adult were both bored by the movie midway through, once it lost its spark as something creative and instead became something dull.ĮXPECTATIONS: Especially with its grammatical toying, this one looked pretty silly. WHO'S IT FOR?: Kids who like poop jokes will get a few bits of imagination sprinkled into their entertainment diet, but the amount is underwhelming considering the movie's potential. PLOT: A young girl (Beatty) determined to have the best summer ever, creates a system that awards her with thrill points whenever she does something different and exciting. ![]() Cast: Jordana Beatty, Heather Graham, Parris Mosteller, Jaleel White
