Ramona And Beezus - Great Family Movie

A Little Sister Goes A Long Way
Ramona and Beezus

A Heart-Warming Story Of Sisterhood Starring Selena Gomez and Joey King Arrives Just in Time for the Holidays on DVD and Blu-ray Disc November 9
 
Imagination runs wild this holiday with RAMONA AND BEEZUS. Plus, it’s double the trouble and twice as nice on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD with more Selena and Joey fun! Based on the best-selling books by Beverly Cleary, RAMONA AND BEEZUS bounces on to Blu-ray Disc with limited edition “imagination journal” and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment November 9.

Teen sensation Selena Gomez (“Hannah Montana,” “Wizards of Waverly Place”) teams up with newcomer Joey King in this delightful coming-of-age comedy based on the best-selling books by Beverly Cleary. Ramona (King) is a little girl with a very big imagination and a nose for mischief. Her playful antics keep everyone in her loving family on their toes, including her older sister Beezus (Gomez), who's just trying to survive her first year of high school. Through all the ups and downs of childhood, Ramona and Beezus learn that anything’s possible when you believe in yourself and rely on each other.

RAMONA AND BEEZUS comes to Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD for the suggested retail price of $39.99 US/$49.99 Canada and $29.98 US/$43.98 Canada, respectively.

What I Can Tell You: 
Selena Gomez and Joey King look like sisters. The movie is utterly adorable and I am completely in love with Joey King. She is an amazing little actress and reminds me of Dakota Fanning in her expressions. She will be a big star!  

Great storyline about Ramona who marches to the beat of her own drum. She is often in trouble, completely mischievous and totally innocent. She doesn't try to get in trouble, trouble just has a way of finding her.

Both of my kids love the movie (5 year old girl and 7 year old boy) as Ramona has a wonderful imagination and of often very funny. I wasn't surprised that the kids loved the movie, as I loved it too. Ramona is the perfect combination of charm, wit, and cuteness without being obnoxious.

Beside Ramona and Beezus; we have their parents played by Sex in the Cities John Corbett and Bridget Moynahan. Aunt Bee is played by Big Love's Ginnfer Goodwin and Josh Drummel plays Aunt Bee's High School sweetheart and Grey's Anatomy's Sandra Oh is a teacher. The movie covers some tough subjects without ever getting dark and depressing. Great screenplay!

I have yet to read the series of books by Beverly Cleary but plan to buy the movie and book collection for my niece this Christmas.

Great movie from start to finish.

Disclaimer: I received the movie compliments of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
