Bridge to Terabithia (PG)

This lovely adaptation of the Newbery Medal Award-winning book is a gift to families who want meaningful entertainment to enjoy together. The movie revolves around a young boy with secret artistic aspirations, whose life opens up when a kindred spirit moves in next door. For those who haven't read the book, both the tale and its execution will be a treat. For fans of Katherine Paterson's novel, this version doesn't disappoint. The DVD's featurettes include an interview with the author as well as shorts about the book's themes and importance in literature. Grade: A
