Anyone else watched it yet? I've just finished it and thought it was brilliant. Absolutely did the book justice. Highly recommend.

No but I’m so keen! Is it in the cinema
or streamed?

I loved Judy Blume books as a little girl.

Tiredmum100 · 01/08/2023 10:08

I loved the book as a child. Definitely want to watch the film.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 01/08/2023 10:09

I’ve seen it and it was wonderful, great adaption of a book I loved. I saw it with DD in May half term though so I’d be surprised if it’s still in cinemas.

pizzaHeart · 02/08/2023 01:16

DD and I saw it in half term as well, we both loved it. I would highly recommend and would happily watch again but it’s not on anywhere atm.

Watched it with my teen dd and preteen ds tonight and they both enjoyed it. We also watched ‘Youre so not invited to my bat mitzvah’ this week so i now need a coming-of-age boy film.

I watched it on DVD with my pre-teen as it was my favourite book as a child. Read most of Judy Blume's books.

Although I did like the film, I found it to have more of a religious angle than I remember the book having. Might just be my bad memory. Thought Kathy Bates was great as the grandmother!

That Netflix flim is on our wishlist. Looks really good. Did you know Adam Sandler's real daughters star in it?!?

Meredusoleil · 03/09/2023 03:51

I watched it on DVD from the library. Don't think it's on Netflix yet!

Sunshineboo · 03/09/2023 03:57

it's for rent on amazon prime

ThePoshUns · 03/09/2023 21:09

I watched it this evening and really enjoyed it. From what I can recall it was pretty true to the book. The child actors were really good especially Margaret.

Watched the Adam Sandler and family film today. Thought it was a bit like a modern day equivalent to Are you there God! Wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be, but my girls did laugh.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 26/12/2023 22:40

It's free now on prime and I loved it, brought it all back, absolutely loved her books.

MrsMarni · 14/01/2024 15:31

Loved it!

purpleme12 · 21/06/2026 19:25

I loved it
I watched it with my 12 year old. I'd not read the book so didn't really know what it was going to be like but she really liked it as well
I cried a bit at the end

purpleme12 · 21/06/2026 19:25

The actress playing the main character is so naturally pretty
