Featured review
A fun movie.
This is a good film. Michelle Trachtenberg makes a great Harriet the Spy. This movie is filled with comedy for the younger kids and is worth a look. I think this movie is underrated and it should have recieved more than it did. I read the book and from what I can remember, this movie resembles the book well. The
supporting cast including Rosie O'Donnell is great. The characterization is also well done including the characters Sport, Janie and the wise cracker Marion
Hawthorne. Harriet the Spy has a great mix of comedy, drama and tragedy. I
recommend this movie to any young one and if you've haven't read the book, I
would recommend you do or you might not understand this movie. *** out of ****
