Bridge to Terabithia [Blu-ray]

My daughter asked for this movie for Easter. She actually asked for the DVD which shocked because Im so used to just renting or buying digital versions of movies. She loved this movie so much she said she wanted it physically in her hands. Its a nice movie for anyone in your family. It stars Josh Hutcherson of The Hunger games and AnnaSophia Robb of televisions The Carrie Diaries. Both actors are a bit young, as this movie is seven years old. The movies theme is one of friendship, imagination and loss. It made me cry my eyes out but my daughter loves it. She has watched it three times since it arrived. Im really glad we ordered this and in co inclusion its a great family movie but might be a bit sad for younger children or older mommies :)

Its very rare that a movie is so true to life and so well done. As it deals with death issues, Id recommend parents of young children watch the movie with them to explain the loss of Leslie and aftermath. There is so much in this movie that can be discussed with children as a teaching tool. This movie will be around for a long time, thank you for offering the movie and all the people who had a hand in filming it.

Really wanted to like this more. Growing up I had some friends who called our secret clubhouse-by-the-highway Terabithia, and it was years before I learned of the book and heard Theyd adapted it. The film is decent in execution, but I think the story just doesnt lend itself to the medium nearly as well as it does to literature. No mysterious lack of decent performances or hackneyed performers trying to reinvigorate their career with a film on controversial subject matter. Its all at least acceptable. It just never really clicked into place properly for me.

This movie will pull at your heart strings and open your imagination.

This movie surprised almost at the end when something sad took place. It has a mix of little bit of everything. I love that movie and I highly recommend for those who love to dream or play with their imagination.

My 3 year old daughter loved it! Very heartfelt story.

This is a really good movie. I had only heard about this movie and that it was good. So without knowing about its dark side, I planned an evening to watch it at home, with my wife & two of my daughters (23 & 21). After a mostly lighthearted beginning, most of the way through the movie, there is a dark turn of events. We were all kind of in shock and my daughters were crying. Ive heard that the BOOK is widely read around the [....] or so, so many kids are familiar with the story line. I WOULD NOT recommend it for viewers younger than about 10. There are a numnber of good elements. It shows the power of imagination. The friendship between Jess and Leslie is powerful. Teachers are portrayed in a POSITIVE light. And in the end, Jess builds a bridge and introduces his sister to his and Leslies magical place. The dark turn should provide a talking point for parents of teens. This is without regard to your personal beliefs. Religion plays only a very small part in this movie. You should take the opportunity to talk with your kids about the topic. (Im avoiding mentioning the exact nature of the dark turn to avoid being a spoiler. But you can probably take a good guess.) So, Id recommend it highly. Just be prepared for a good discussion afterwards.

The movie is not too intense as mentioned in many reviews. The only thing Id say about language is that the word hell was used repeatedly and if you dont like this word, dont show the scene where Leslie goes to church with the Aarons. Over all, really awesome and many differences from the book. The book is better.

The task of devising a story that gives children hope in real-life situations is a daunting one. Each of our children face adversaries on a daily basis in their neighborhoods and at school. This amazing story celebrates a childs capacity to sort through these types of problems from within the combined world of fantasy and daily life. It is truly a tale that acknowledges a childs perspective and captures their indomitable spirit. Kudos to the author and screen writer who so effectively express *childrens ability to stand their ground while treating an adversary with compassion; *a childs unique aptitude for understanding their parents perspective; *childrens need for allies when among peers and family; *misunderstandings turned to empathetic gifts of understanding. YEP - Kudos to this movie and all it expresses!

Cute movie. My 10 yr old daughter liked it
