closer to G than PG
My 6 year old loved this, and my 11 year old liked it (and probably would have admitted to more if he weren't concerned about appearing un-hip). I wept copiously. I thought the girl playing Opal was terrific. Lots of good message, and we had a great ride-home conversation.

As a teacher, I feel this book and movie have lots of important issues. In my classroom, year after year, it brings rich discussions on things like alcoholism, single aprent familes, loss and longing. My students LOVE this book and movie!

Must read book and must see movie for 8 and up
Because of Winn Dixie was a wonderful book and a terrific movie. We saw it together and have not stopped talking about it. I think the role of alcohol in the movie is a great topic for discussion with young and old alike. I also liked that they did not change the ending of the book for the film.

Family Friendly Movie--Everyone can enjoy!
My 7yr old daughter and 9yr old son picked out this movie. We watched it as a family and we all enjoyed it. It was very entertaining and after watching you are left with a good feeling and good thoughts. This movie has a great moral lesson to be learned--"faith, hope and love-but the greatest of these is love" .

It's About Time !!
A movie that doesn't leave you brain dead and sorry you had to sit through it for your kids!? This is a fun, touching movie which handles well many worthwhile life lessons about love, loss, joy and sorrow. Bring tissue if you are a lush like me, otherwise, enjoy this feel good movie!

I was touched on several levels - I highly recommend it.
I saw this movie on a plane; probably would've caught it at some point on cable, but not definite. I found myself relating to the young girl, and moved by the same emotions she felt. I heard the line, "the best laughter is through your tears", and that applies here. A good message, yet realistic. Just enough comic relief and realism. Not sure if kids younger than 10 would be comfortable with the emotional themes.

Cute Movie
My nieces, ages 9, 11 and 14 all enjoyed this movie. As did my 2 year old son and 4 year old daughter. Any language that was iffy was discussed with the younger ones and any references to alcohol went over their heads. Great for talking about relations between older/younger people and race.
