Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0
Starsììì
Bridge to Terabithia—imaginative—appeals
to the younger audience due to its non-linear movement that runs back and forth
between reality and creativity. This creates a small underlying conflict that at
times makes it hard to understand where the story is going and makes it
difficult to see where the real story lies. Above average acting by child stars
Josh Hutcherson and AnnaSophia Robb.
Storyline
Mr.
Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) meets Miss Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) and
finds life will never quite be the same.
Additional Thanks
Thank
You to Director Gabor Csupo for directing effort. Thank you to Executive
Producer Alex Schwartz for making the film possible. Additional characters/cast
include: Ms. Edmunds (Zooey Deschanel), Jack Aarons (Robert Patrick), May Belle
Aarons (Bailee Madison), Mary Aarons (Kate Butler), Brenda Aarons (Devon Wood),
Ellie Aarons (Emma Fenton), and Joyce Aarons (Grace Brannigan).
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe.
The film doesn’t delve too deeply into any ethical subject, but still manages
to touch several human behaviors with such imagination and creativity that it’s
easy to miss the teaching moments this film offers. Good ‘talk-about’ film for the
child and adult viewer.
