Watch Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer For Free

You won't be disappointed!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I was a somewhat fan of the Judy Moody books, and the spin-off series of books about her brother. So when I heard about this movie, I was happy to see someone adapt the words in the books to a visual medium. I didn't see it in theaters but I saw it on Disney Channel with my little sister and my reaction was along the lines of "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" and "Well it could've been worse." The story is somewhat original: a girl takes up a challenge in which she must do as many strange, creative, and fun activities to score points. But meanwhile, she must handle the quirks that come from her little brother and her Aunt, who helps her in her challenge. Hijinx ensue. That is a good story for kids. The editing is all over the place. A lot of the shots are quickly done, that whenever a slower scene comes on, I feel like I'm watching another film! The acting is OK for a film like this, but they should have given the actress who plays Judy more direction. So, when all is said and done, the film is just… OK. The acting: it's OK! The editing and directing: it's OK. The story: once again, it's OK. Unless you want to watch a film for you and your kids to watch and get sucked into, I say watch it. Especially when your summer is NOT a bummer!

I really enjoyed watching this Fantastic successful family movie,it was great fun and never got bored with it.The acting was brilliant and the kids were so cute and so funny that I wished I had kids like them,this is not exaggeration at all.Judy Moody is a cuddly kid in 3rd grade and this exceptional year she plans her extraordinary summer vacation with her best cute friends Rocky and Amy.So Judy packed all her things with her including candy,toys and kids stuff and invited her friends to accompany her in this outstanding Summer Vacation.Unfortunately for Judy Her first friend Rocky is going to circus camp to learn to tame lions,determined Judy didn't despair she talks to Amy who is also busy this summer but in something else traveling to Borneo with her mom to save a lost tribe. Alas for the lovely Judy she could not help but stay home with her troublesome little brother Stink and second best friend Frank Pearl.Poor little beautiful girl Judy while she was dreaming of having a whale of time swimming in the sea,having fun ,eating ice cream & playing with her best friends,things turned out quite the opposite for her.But this is not the end of the world for the gorgeous Judy,she suddenly hears that her parents will spend the Summer Vacation in California and Judy can go with them & stay with her Aunt Opal, whom she has never even met! Nevertheless beautiful, smart,strong and cute Judy went To California but what she doesn't know is that she has to face there one of the most pleasant and unexpected surprises she has never ever seen which will positively change her mood in a funny mysterious way you'll detect its splendor in this masterpiece Guaranteed entertaining family movie.

I had a free pass which ONLY could be used for this movie; otherwise, its gag-inducing trailer might have kept me away. (Hollywood's goal for ALL its comedy previews these days seems hell-bent on making viewers barf, perhaps with the hope that they will blame it on a virus or food poisoning, rush home without seeing the movie they paid for--or getting a refund, and then come back and PAY AGAIN for the movie they wanted to see in the first place. Well, if most Americans are THAT stupid, then maybe Owen Wilson SHOULD be president!) Though Jordana Beatty as JUDY MOODY is not really the cutest or most entertaining girl on the block (the Fanning sisters qualify as today's Shirley Temples), BUMMER SUMMER could perhaps pass as DIARY OF A WIMPY KID for the short female set. When all the gross sight gags crammed into the preview are spread out through 91 minutes, its sort of like a farmer fertilizing his field: not so bad (if you don't get caught downwind). And with Heather Graham as Judy's Aunt Opal, this kid pic kind of gets my sympathy vote. Oh, what Roller Girl's stooped down to!

I was going to see the new Tom Hanks film today but went and saw this one instead. I don't know, I guess sometimes its good for a middle-aged person like me to do something that brings out the inner child in him. I'm glad I did because this movie is a lot of fun. I saw a heartwarming sight in the theatre, there was a grandmother and her two grandkids watching it. Its nice that there are films you can take your children to and not have to cover their ears or their eyes at certain points. It was good to forget for a while about the problems in the world like the war on terror, my upcoming retirement from the military and the Casey Anthony verdict and just have a few good laughs at a wonderful, simple story about a cute, spunky little girl who just wants to have a "cool" summer (I had a hard time decoding some of the "kid" lingo in the film, they should have subtitles for old fogies like me). I remember the last summer I felt nostalgic about was the summer of 1980 when I was 12. As with all kid movies, they have to throw in a little gross humor like the vomiting on the roller coaster or that disgusting ingredient that gets mixed in with their lunch. A little charmer named Jordana Beatty really shines as Judy and Heather Graham also does a great job as her lovable slightly daft Aunt Opal. The most positive thing about this film SPOILER is how Judy dreaded her Aunt coming to stay at the beginning but they bonded so well and in the end she realized that meeting her and coming to love her aunt was the "coolest" thing of all. Thats a message parents who take their kids to see the film should discuss with them afterwards. The only negative thing I wanted to mention is the fact that Jaleel White is in the film. He was Steve Urkel on Family Matters as a kid. He was televisions first African American nerd! I found him utterly repulsive and annoying As a kid and feel the same way about him as an adult!
