Having a middle-aged male review it is probably ridiculous. So is asking its target audience to listen to a middle-aged male's opinions on the subject. Go to Full Review Antonia Quirke Financial Times Oct 20, 2011

Michizou T @RT56442117 Aug 30, 2026 This movie is very nostalgic for me, so maybe that is clouding my judgement— but i genuinely this is it a good film, fine and a serviceable kids movie about finding the good in an otherwise bad situation.

See more Alessandro O @Alessuz Aug 1, 2024 Totally friendly and watchable, as a grown-up fan of the book series, i am satisfied. See more Rami A @Bunt101 May 3, 2024 This is a very embarrassing adaptation of a beloved children's series. Judy Moody may have had a "not bummer summer," I had a bummer viewing experience. See more Jeffrey M @RT01695930 Jul 19, 2023 Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer was a very silly cheesy movie. This movie has only one comedic part and it's pretty boring . The Judy Moody movie is one of those movies that are so bad that there good. This movie is best for ages 4-7. Even though Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer is a NOT so good movie, it still doesn't deserve a 21% for critics. Maybe something like 44% would be suitable ( even though my rating is higher). I would give this movie a 58%. See more Read all reviews
