Ramona and Beezus  ***

Stars: Selena Gomez, Joey King, John Corbett, Bridget Moynahan
Director: Elizabeth Allen
Rated: G
Showing: Liberty Theatre, week of Friday August 6 - Daily at 2:30/6:30pm except Sunday 2:30/5:30pm
Runtime: 104 minutes
Family/comedy

Based on the popular series of children’s books by Beverly Cleary, this heartfelt family comedy focuses on the misadventures of nine-year-old Ramona Quimby and her elder sister Beatrice, aka Beezus.

We see the world from Ramona’s point of view as she lives in the shadow of her sister, a straight-A student irritated by her younger sibling’s overactive imagination.

But their rivalry takes a back seat when their dad loses his job and considers a new one far from their home — will their lives be turned upside down by a move?

Determined to stay put, Ramona comes up with a string of money-making schemes, which, of course, go disastrously wrong.

The movie is more sentimental than comedic but Ramona’s accident-prone antics will get laughs from its target tweenage viewers.

And the young cast give remarkably natural performances, notably Selena Gomez (Wizards Of Waverley Place) as Beezus.

Watch if you liked: Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.
