From what I've heard this movie is based on a BEST-SELLING book. If that's the case I'm assuming the book is actually very good. But unfortunately this movie is mediocre at best.

But unfortunately this movie is mediocre at best. For most of the movie, there isn't that much happening really. It's quite boring. Just an ordinary young girl and her family going through their regular everyday routine. Nothing out of the ordinary happening. Yeah, the father gets laid off and it sparks drama in the family. But in this day and age and in recession, it happens to most people. Still nothing out of the ordinary really. In other words, the story is not very interesting at all. The daydreaming parts is actually the best part of the movie because it offers an accurate depiction of a child's imagination. Furthermore the daydreaming parts are the only part of movie where the story goes a little deeper. The rest of the story is very slow moving and isn't very deep at all. There are many EXCELLENT movies which consists of slow moving stories (like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for example). But the difference is the story is very deep and original and keeps the audience interested. That's absolutely not the case with this movie.… Expand

I was suprised how Selena Gomez could actually act throughout this boring, cheezy movie. She aced her part more than any other actor in "Ramona and Beezus". However, that's the sole good thing the film can boast about.

movie is predictable and cheezy but somehow it was good. I loved how they kept focus on ramona most of the time. I am not a fan of Taylor Swift but her song on this somehow turned out to be my favorite song. It is my most listened song in mymovie is predictable and cheezy but somehow it was good.

It is utterly predictable, but the film is surprisingly well acted by the young Selena Gomez, it is funny, and is undeniably sweet. I give this surprisingly good movie 78% of a good movie.

Since "Ramona and Beezus" blandly stays within the parameters of a G rating, it's only inevitable that the contemporization of the 1955 young adult novel by Beverly Cleary would dislocate the sisters from their modern-day setting, Since "Ramona and Beezus" blandly stays within the parameters of a G rating, it's only inevitable that the contemporization of the 1955 young adult novel by Beverly Cleary would dislocate the sisters from their modern-day setting, especially Beezus(Selena Gomez), a girl out of time whose innocence wouldn't be so distracting had the film not saddled the Quimby clan with a real world problem. The recession and the fallout resulting from dad(John Corbett) being laid off from his job(marital squabbles, home foreclosures) entails that the characters act accordingly to their period. When the Cleary novel was published, boys and girls in America went steady; they hung out at malt shops and drive-in theaters, and never broached the subject of sex. That's the world Beezus belongs to; the filmic world of mythical teenagers which Peter Bogdonavich's "The Last Picture Show"(and more recently Gary Ross' "Pleasentville") put an end to, in which "Ramona and Beezus" revives, through the reactionary quality of the teenaged girl's chasteness. To a great extent, generative naivety was largely a filmic reality(which the Kinsey Reports of 1947 & 1953 proved), a product of the church's then-monolithic influence on people's lives(see Giesuppe Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso"). Presented as a secular film, "Ramona and Beezus" beats a Christian heart. To see such unworldliness engendered in attractive, seemingly well-rounded adolescents, where a good friend flirts uncertainly with Beezus(before a lemonade stand, no less) like a nine-year-old boy stricken with puppy love, can't help but distract the moviegoer. Maybe Beezus is supposed to be plain-looking; maybe that would have lessened the estrangement. A less beautiful actress can get away with a line like, "Who could ever love a girl named Beezus?" but not Gomez. The declaration comes amidst the older sister's exasperation with having a sibling like Ramona(Joey King) who always has to be the center of attention. It's the plaintive cry of an ugly duckling, not a sperm magnet. The name "Beezus" makes Beatrice feel unattractive, a name that the younger Quimbly girl saddled her with. When Ramona chops up a couple of hot dogs for dinner, the seemingly innocuous action suggests a real Ramona and a real Beezus underneath their studio-mandated ciphers, a sisterly dynamic more in line with the Wiener girls from Todd Solondz's "Welcome to the Dollhouse", made obscure by the G rating. When boy and girl finally do kiss, it's the latter who makes the first move, which finally brings "Ramona and Beezus" up-to-date with cultural and societal norms, because, according to Nicolas Cage in Francis Coppola's "Peggy Sue Got Married", "that's a guy's move."… Expand

Ramona Quimby (Joey King) lives in a typical middle class neighborhood on the west coast. Her family consists of Father Robert (John Corbett), Mother Dorothy (Bridget Moynahan), big Sister Beatrice, er, Beezus (Selena Gomez) and a new baby sister. Also close to the Quimbys is their mother's sibling, Aunt Bea (Ginnifer Goodwin). Unlike Beezus, who is an excellent student and very mature for a budding teenager, Ramona struggles at school, especially with her no-nonsense teacher (Sandra Oh). The instructor doesn't have much patience with Ramona's penchant to coin new words, among other issues. Life at the house, also, takes a strange turn, when in the middle of home-remodeling project, Dad loses his job. Soon, Mom is working part time at her old job and Pop becomes the lunch packer and house-husband, while sending out a large amount of resumes. Aunt Bea's life, too, receives a curveball when old flame, Hobart (Josh Duhamel) moves back to his original home next to the Quimbys. Happily recovered from the long ago heartbreak of Hobart's abandonment, Bea is startled to find him lavishing attention on her once again. What's a girl to do? Beezus has love trouble, too, when a relationship with longtime pal, Henry Huggins, may turn into a romance. Ramona continues to weather storms, such as the day an egg breaks on her head, minutes ahead of the school pictures! But, biggest problem of all is the fact that they may have to move, if Dad doesn't find a job in town. What will the future bring for the Quimbys? This is very fine family flick, with plenty of humor and energy without any objectionable material. In fact, it is a shining example of how successful a movie can be without sex or bad language. Then, too, the actors do a great job, with King leading the way. What a wholesome and realistic young actress she is! Gomez, too, is a winning and lovely young thespian while Corbett, Moynahan, Oh, Goodwin, Duhamel and all of the others are lively, all-too-human and flat-out fun. The west coast setting is lovely, as are the costumes, script and all other film amenities while the direction is secure and confident. All in all, this film is one every family should have on hand, for repeated viewings, I predict, will never grow old.… Expand
