Plot: Producer Julia Roberts brings the American Girl brand to the big screen for the very first time with this inspirational tale concerning a nine-year-old girl named Kit Kittredge (Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin) growing up during the Great Depression. Though the American Girls have previously appeared on the small screen in Samantha: An American Girl Holiday, Felicity: An American Girl Adventure, and Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front, Kit's adventure marks the very first major theatrical endeavor for the characters created by author Valerie Tripp. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Fun Movie
Added 9/13/2009

This movie is a lot of fun and considering the state of the economy, it's very timely (it's set in the depression era). Kit's a great character and very sharp. The shipping was very quick too.

Heartbreaking and Heartwarming. Simply Wonderful
Added 9/3/2009

This movie is about Kit who is living during the depression. She has a lovely life style with a home, a car, and many extras that other children do not have at that time. Her father eventually loses his job and moves to try to find work. Her and her mother take in borders, sell eggs and do everything they can do to make it through the difficult times.

Kit deals with each difficulty with grace and strength and honesty. She works on writing newsletter articles during this time and eventually gets one published. She also befriends some hobos and learns about their life as well.

This movie is fascinating, interesting and heart warming. It is also heart breaking to watch this young girl learning to deal with such difficult circumstances.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.

movie buff
Added 5/4/2009

great family movie not, just a childrens flick. As an adult I found it action filled, and even an element of suspense and suprise twist.

Good movie, good disc
Added 2/24/2009

Not sure why the other reviewer says that dvd is good enough. What an absurd thing to say. I also read some bad reviews on other websites for the image quality on this blu-ray, which I don't understand at all. The image looks lovely and it's very nicely rendered.

The movie is an above-average film for kids. It's rooted in everyday life harsh realities, without forgetting to be fun. It's not depressive at all, on the contrary, it tries to show the value of keeping your spirits up against adversity. The first half of the movie is more about the drama and it's more "realistic", the second half plays more like a classic old Disney kiddie mistery film. In the end the title character makes some growing up, and there's the happy ending we all want. The movie manages succesfully to have it both ways througout.
