Movie Review: Bridge to Terabithia
Combined Rating: 82% (S:82%; P:84%) - A note to parents who arent familiar with the book it is quite sad and you may have some hand holding to do by the end but its worth it for such a terrific movie. Bridge To Terabithia shines with bright young stars and a heart rending story that is very well told. Anna Sophia Robb is a young star to watch and director Gabor Csupo shows he is talented well beyond his work in animation. Bridge To Terabithia is the kind of kids movie that film critics long for. Challenging yet sentimental, smart but accessible. This is one of the best kids movies in a very long while.
