Starring : Josh Hustcherson, AnnaSophia Robb, Robert Patrick, Bailee Madison, Zooey Deschanel
Director : Gabor Csupo
Running Time : 96 mins

Jess Aarons (Hutcherson) makes friends with the new girl at school, Leslie Burke (Robb), and together they create their own fantasy world, Terabithia, a world filled with trolls and demons and all sorts of evil creatures where Jess and Leslie reign as king and queen, but it isn’t long until the real world interferes with their enjoyment, and a random accident leads to tragedy.

This is a great movie, but it’s hard to say that it’s a kid’s movie. Some of the story may upset young viewers – I know I was surprised by some of the turn of events – but even still there is a certain charm which makes this movie a fun yet dramatic journey for both children and adults alike. Well worth checking out, just to see how surprised you get by the ending.
