Well its finally here: Kit Kittredge was launched in movie theaters around the country today.  As a special departure from her routine, Emily gives her review of the movie having just returned from seeing it with her Mom.

Title: Kit Kittredge - An American Girl

Storyline: Kit lives with her Mom and Dad in Cincinnati and they are struggling during the Great Depression.  Kit is inquisitive, eager and hardy, and always prepared to get involved in an adventure.  She also wants to be a cub reporter and writes a story about a local hobo camp.  When there are robberies in the area and the hobos are blamed Kit needs to get with her friends to solve the mystery.

Favorite Character: It has to be Kit who is very sweet and caring.  She is also spunky and ready to take on any story and adventure.

What you most liked: When Kit forms the Tree House Club with her friends and makes best friends with Ruthie Smithens.

What you least liked: I was sad when Kit’s Dad lost his job and everyone around them lose their houses.  It must have been a very difficult time to grow up.

Why you would recommend it to a friend: This is a great movies for all American Girl lovers.  It has adventure and mystery.  All the characters are interesting especially Kit and her family.  It is a story of determination and grit and one that takes place is a very tough time in history.  This film is very well made and is good for parents too.

    Good review! I liked this movie too, especially the ending. I think it was a good story about hard work, and sticking together. I agree that adults will like this movie as much as kids. I did!

    Great review! We loved the movie in our house too. I’m sure even my boys will like it when it comes out on video. I didn’t think it was just for girls. Lots of humor and mystery as well.
