I really enjoyed the Ramona books as a child and as an adult I really loved the movie based on them. Beverly Cleary is a real genius because her books have stood the test of time and the screenwriters for this film were smart enough to be faithful to them. Anybody with a pesty little sister can surely identify with Beezus. Joey King and Selena Gomez do a wonderful job bringing Beezus and Ramona to life. This is a good movie for children and the young at heart. The one scene that bothered me is the one where Ramona threw up in class, it brought back unpleasant memories because it happened to me once when I was a kid. Oh well, I also wanted to mention that the actor playing Ramona's loving and tolerant father did a great job as well. SPOILER ALERT I was really saddened when Ramona's cat died, I don't think that I have been that moved by a dumb animal's death since I saw Old Yeller.
