Very disappointing...
the audience applauded
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I have recently gone to the movie theatres to see the new (2007) version of Bridge to Teribithia. After, I went to the library to rent the older version to see it again without paying again. I must say that I was extremely disappointed! I found the older version to have horrible acting as well as corny lines including Jessie saying, "I know Daddy, but I hurt so much inside" after Leslie dies. It was quite horribly done and the casting was not much better in my opinion. I watched in amazement all the while saying no wonder they remade it. The story is great but trust me spend the money and see the new version, if you just see the old one you may never experience the true magic of Teribithia.
I remember watching it as a child of 8 yrs old and it brought a tear to my eye. What a great movie. The acting was wonderful for that time, and I consider it to still be good. The movie was short, but to an 8 yr old, it was just about right. See it if you have the chance. Let your kids watch it if you will.
I love this movie so much!!! I read the wonderful book back in 5th grade, and then we got to watch the movie and I just fell in love with it!!! Its such a good script with wonderful acting!!! This is a fantastic film to be enjoyed by the whole family!!!
Excellent kid's movie about two best friends who make up an imiginary world to help them with their problems. When tragedy strikes one the other must come to terms with what has happened and what the future holds. Good acting, direction and good score as well. Highly recommended. Short movie but excellent.
