Storyline

Ramona Quimby, is a grade-school student with a big imagination. So big, in fact, that she often clashes with her no-nonsense teacher Mrs. Meacham. When Ramona's upbeat dad Robert loses his job, the family - including her teenage sister, Beezus, and their practical-minded mother - must make major adjustments, like dad learning how to run the house. Ramona dreams up various plans to make money so that she can save their house, but because everybody in the family seems too preoccupied to help her with her own worries, she turns to the one person who always has time for her, Aunt Bea. But even Aunt Bea is distracted these days because of her ex-boyfriend - and Quimby family next-door neighbour - Hobart

Quotes

[first lines]
Ramona Quimby: My name is Ramona Q. I'm nine and three months, and no matter what my sister Beezus tells you: I'm not a pest. My dad says I just having overactive imagination, which does come in handy. It makes the fun parts funner and the scary parts scarier. And frankly, it's good to scare yourself once in a while. Because if you can't be brave at recess, how can you do it what it really counts?

User Reviews

"Ramona Will make You Fall In Love With Her"

First Of all this is my very first review so please don't mind anything.And yessss....... I standby my word.Ramona played by "JOEY KING" is definitely the "Sun" in this movie and the whole universe revolves around her.This girl is very imaginative and artistic who thinks that her family doesn't love her because she is different.But as in real life the movie goes on and she realizes that she really is "extraordinary".

Every little move that she makes is depicted beautifully in the movie.The Writers & director knew that anything that powerful needs character building and that's exactly what they did.Joey is full of acting genes,she is a natural talent & i have very high hopes for her.

So,the cast is superb too..........most of them are whom we know & love.Ramona has a big sister "Beezus" played by "Selena Gomez"(at-last a big sister who is not "mean").The part of the father is played by "John Corbett" whom we know from "United States Of Tara" & and the mother is lovely "Bridget Moynahan".Character of aunt bea is played by "Ginnifer Goodwin" and her boyfriend is "Josh Duhamel".All of them played their part nicely.

I am surprised that this movie hasn't got better ratings on IMDb............i don't know what's happening to people.But don't get put off by that & "Trust Me".Every moment of this movie is worth watching and most of all worth enjoying.So get your pop corns and chill a little...........you'll most definitely like it.

So peace until next time.
