Not great for sensitive kids...
Well I know that this was listed as ok for six year olds, but my daughter really didn't enjoy it. There's a lot of heavy, adult stuff in here, including: families being evicted from their homes due to foreclosure and fathers leaving their families to get jobs (and sometimes never coming back). There is a lot of heartache in this movie, and I kept waiting for the plucky little Kit and her friends to pick up the mood, and they did a little, but to my daughter, who started crying 25 minutes into the movie from the relentless stream of sadness, it came too little too late. It was educational, in that she learned about the Great Depression and the banking and financial system, but I'm actually kind of sorry that I exposed her to all of this at the tender age of 6. If your kids would bear up well under similar plot points, go ahead, but just a warning to parents of the more sensitive tykes....

Sweet
This was great. Children 6- might not understand it though.Abigal Breslin is an amazing actress. She's in three movies that I've seen. I saw this movie with my whole family. This took place in the great depression. ( No offense but in the mess we're in now we might go back a little. I'm not saying this about just Obama. Don't you know our country is in a mess?) So about The Great Depression, yes that was a very tough time for citizens. It was sad. All those people going for bread and soup at that place. People losing jobs. Losing houses. Losing money. Trying to at least have food and water. Trying to live. This movie had great heart and taught you that you can fight. And that you shouldn't ever give up. That's only the education value. The great message is that was that you kinda gotta help and be a troper like Kit. Kit was a great role model. This is great for kids sevan and up if your six y.o is mature enough sure. I really don't see why not. This movie was sweet.

Good movie for kids who are learning about the Great Depression
It was great that Kit wanted to be a writer! The Great Depression was when lots of people lost money on their investments and lots of people lost their houses. And it is like a mystery about who stole the money and Kits Dad lost his job and traveled to Chicago to find a job. And the bad thing about it is Kit and her friends are doing things with out her parents permisson.

Timely movie about keeping perspective during the tough times
Great movie. My 6 year-old loved it. One, teeny tiny minor thing: We did talk about the answer to question, "Is it ok to steal from the rich to give to the poor," though. Should be obvious, I know. But at the end, stealing and keeping for oneself is explained as "being bad." Not a big deal, otherwise.

Sweet adaption of an American Girl book
This film is about Kitt and life during the Great Depression. It's a cute, entertaining movie. It's a bit educational because it's set during the Great Depression. There's nothing really innapropriate in this movie. Some violence, but not much.

AMAZING MOVIE
This movie sets in the depression time period. Maybe too mature for younger kids. Heartwarming movie and a family favorite.

Good movie!
I liked this movie when I was 9, and I saw it in the theater. I thought it was the best! There are positive messages, which teaches kids good things.

Sweet Movie for the whole family!
Nothing's wrong, but nothing's gonna interest kids younger than nine. I loved it, but it doesn't seem engaging enough to pull in a young audience. Cute and you should see it, but don't bring the young one's, they'll ruin it because they'll get bored. Adult themes and problems may be hard for younger kids to follow at points.

 
Nice work american girl!
This is a really good movie!! It really shows what the great depression was really like!

A really good movie for understanding what the great depression was like. Kit is a great role model for kids to follow.

Depression Era period film with lots to talk about
We saw it before the economic crash officially happened and it gave me an eerie feeling. Lots of history and social issues to talk about with the kids in this film.

A movie you can watch with the whole family
My 4yr old girls liked it but didn't understand the story line. My 13 yr son liked it. We were able to talk about the Great Depression and how similar things are today. I wish more movies like this could be made. You don't need bad language, violence and sex to make a good movie!
