This was an enjoyable, and much more thoughtful, film than I was expecting. The fantasy elements are kept to a minimum, but are nonetheless fun and creatively rendered. The two leads are both very good and I'm sure we'll be seeing much more of them. What made this movie stand out, oddly, was the realism. The real magic in this movie isn't the fantasyland of Terabithia, but the magic inside the very real people who create it. There are some darker moments that would be best discussed by the entire family after the film. I recommend this movie, but with the warning that you may need a tissue and will have to talk about a few things with your younger kids.
I was soo impressed with this moving film! Boy did it take me back..Kids can be soo cruel! The love and Friendship between the two lead Children is both moving and funny! Not since "Steel Magnolias" have I ever gone from laughing to crying soo quickly..my Partner actually had to hold me close to calm me down..This is definitely a must see film for Kids of all ages..be it the bullied or the bullies. "Bridge To Terabithia" is a life lesson from beginning to end. Parents should also pay attention they can learn a few things too..I just wish I had seen this movie over 15 years ago if I had I would have been better able to handle the pain I was to go through later in life..if you get the chance rent or buy this film grab your box of kleenex and sit right down and have a good cry fest!! Junk food and soda a must have addition!Read full review
The children like this movie so much, they named their nearby creek "Terabithia." The movie and the separate book are both very good. There is a death in the movie, so parents should be aware. This shows the creative friendship of two rather lonely children. Recommended.

We saw Bridge to Terabithia first at the theater & my 7 year old daughter loved it so now we've bought the DVD. I enjoyed it, but it was hyped to have lots of special effects like Narnia & I didn't feel they expanded on the make-believe part of it enough. They give you a taste at the very end, but you never really feel like you get to Terabithia. We haven't read the book yet, but will just to see how the movie compares & matches up. It is a very sweet story of friendship, acceptance, loss & dealing with bullies (at school & at home). The movie really is a good one for both kids & adults, I just left the theater wanting more...
What a great film! This version has the right combination of actors, music, and special effects. This film compliments the book and brings to life most of what the author was trying to achieve. The special effects are wonderful and are akin to what real children who play in real woods might imagine. (I know that these characters would have fit in with the beasts I battled!) By all means, read the book, BUY THE BOOK, pass it on to your children--but give this film a go, too. Cool bonus features--the author reveals why she wrote such a touching book in the first place, and there is a great music video by Annasophia Robb. Enjoy!
