Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Python Hyena Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer (2011): Dir: John Schultz / Cast: Jordana Beatty, Heather Graham, Parris Mosteller, Jaleel White, Janet Varney: About as amateur as a family kiddie film can get. It regards appreciating the little things in life, that hopefully doesn't involve attending this film. Jordana Beatty plays Judy Moody whose summer was scheduled to be full of dares until her friends all travel elsewhere for the summer leaving her with her Bigfoot obsessed younger brother, Stink. Once her parents answer a call to go aid another family member, the kids are left with their Aunt Opal. Directed by John Schultz whose films seem to be made out of a weekly allowance. He previously made such junk as Drive Me Crazy and the idiotic Aliens in the Attic. Schultz may have the best intentions but the special effects here are about third grade level. Beatty holds her own as Moody whose enthusiasm for adventure is only temporarily sidetracked by disappointments. She upholds the theme of the film. Heather Graham as Aunt Opal is fetching and sunny but her dealings with the children are questionable especially when one handles what is claimed to be sh*t (and apparently was) at the table. Parris Mosteller plays Stink who is involved with a lot of morons out seeking Bigfoot. And who names their kid Stink anyway? Janet Varney plays his mother, so perhaps some of the blame can be direct towards her. Jaleel White plays teacher Mr. Todd whom the kids hunt for all summer. Had he been smart he would have skipped the film set and avoided another bummer film choice. Score: 3 ½ / 10

WakenPayne This is probably up there with The Garbage Pail Kids Movie or the Animated Titanics as being some of the worst family entertainment I have ever seen. To be clear, the only reason why I watched this is because I got this on a five pack DVD of movies and I wanted to see all of the movies on there.Okay so the story, Judy Moody is an annoying third grader who wants her friends to have the best summer of their lives by doing these "dares" and adding up points. When it's revealed that the friends are going to places like Borneo and Circus Camp Judy decides to compete for "best summer ever". Meanwhile her parents are helping her grandparents move house in California instead of, I don't know - taking your kids along too they instead leave them there and have them being taken care of by her Aunt (Heather Graham) who I swear is whatever the hell Tom Hanks was in Big.So this movie in short is a bunch of eight year olds running around doing whatever they want while "oh so hilarious hijinx" ensues and having no responsible adult figure whatsoever. I'm not kidding Heather Graham's character is the kind who would accidentally feed them animal feces... That's not a bad joke by the way - That happens in this movie.There's this subplot in the movie about the kids finding their teacher in their summer break... Um it's been a long time since I was their age but wouldn't they be trying to get away from the teacher and just have a summer break than trying to find him? I mean it would make more sense.Then there are these CGI animated segments which is probably some of the cheapest CG animation you will ever see in a movie, These people are this generation's Hanna Barberra. They also serve no purpose aside from just showing what Judy is thinking, it still would be pointless because it pretty much tells us a few seconds after these sequences are over.The sound mixing is probably some of the most obnoxious I have ever heard. There are constant points in the movie where they just have unneeded sound effects. They add nothing and just annoy more than anything else. The camera work is almost insistent on close-ups. I mean there are a lot of them in this movie.And there's the character of Judy herself, funny how I only remember to write this now. She is so obsessed with "Thrill Points" that it takes up half of her dialogue. This leads her and the only friend that didn't go anywhere to argue then mope and... Do we really need this? A couple of scenes later you'll know they thought they were idiots for screwing up and then they become friends again and... It's as predictable as "Will the moon spin around the Earth?".You know what would have made this movie a lot better? If they changed the game to some kind of Bucket List and through that they find out that the perfect summer was already there. I know it's clichéd but it's better than what we got. The moral of this movie is "A gaming system to have a thrilling summer will never backfire, it just might change a little bit". That's all I can say on this movie, my advice is if you want your kids to stay quiet for 80 minutes... Put on something else that takes 80 minutes.

kylehaines96 I should not be giving this movie a review but since I have seen it I might as well because you guys just want to torture me don't you? Well lets get started.The film is about Judy Moody played by a very annoying Jordana Beatty who is just so worried about not having a bummer summer by inventing a system called thrill points and whoever gets the most amount wins. She is also visited by her eccentric Aunt Opal played by the wonderful Heather Graham.The film is just a big fat mess. To be honest I was pretty shocked to see some people like this movie. In fact if you look at it this movie her whole summer she is so depressed until the last 5 minutes. Please do not see this movie.Rated PG For Some Mild Rude Humor And Language.1hr 31min/91min.BOMB/****

Troye Dchgl As the title concludes, this is a film supposedly meant for summer fun, but I can say it is a pretty bad one at that. I had strong reasons not to watch this in cinema, two of which being the majority of negative reviews and unpleasant comments from people I know. Now that I have finally got my copy and seen it, I am so glad that I decided not to get dragged to watch this.The story is about how a preteen girl spends a summer with a plan to score "thrill points" and how it goes all wrong. Well, the idea is not that bad, not at all.But the movie just fails to deliver anything as a whole. I personally find Judy Moody a bit creepy, and the way she acts and looks simply does not "fit in" to the group compared to other kids. A younger actress would be a lot better. Well, maybe it's just me.A nice story with some fun moments would have made up for that creepiness anyway. Sadly that is not the case. I cannot really say the plot has anything unfitting and fatally incorrect in it. It is just nothing special and nothing fun. This summer is really a bummer for the kids.There are loads of kids movies out there to learn from, to borrow ideas from. The story can be simple and fun, in the typical style of kids movies, and adults can be happy to see that their kids have fun while having something to learn from in the end. But no. There is absolutely nothing in this for kids to learn from, let alone have fun.It's probably not the worst kids movie I've seen, but it's truly close. For me, I don't think it is worth one and a half hour of your time on this.
