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....

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.

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!

Well done, enjoyed by all
I watched this movie with my two daughters, and we all enjoyed it from start to finish. It was a great way to learn about the Great Depression and the challenges of that time, and it also led into a lot of discussions about kindness, courage, and honesty. Very well done, and we will watch it again!

Great American girl movie
I watched this with my 10yr old daughter and we both enjoyed the movie. I thought it was age appropriate and had a great message. I find that most of the American Girl movies are right on track for what I want my daughter to watch.

Great Movie!!
My daughter who is 9, myself and my mother all saw this movie together and we loved loved loved it. Kids needs to know about things that happened in the past especially from a kids point of few. There were a few things we talked about together afterwards, I wanted to make sure she understood. GREAT GREAT movie. No Junk in it!!

Very cute movie
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this very cute movie. I would see it again, with or without my kid! The characters are a lot of fun, I even laughed out loud at some parts. There is absolutely nothing objectionable at all, and I'm rather picky where that is concerned. Highly recommended.

1030's Tutorial Needed
Make sure you give your child a Great Depression tutorial before you go to this movie. I took my 7 year old, and she certainly did not understand the bank repossessing a house, a Dad leaving his family to find a job, a family taking in borders...etc. I was able to explain all this to her after the movie, but I think a little info on these things before the movie would have been helpful for her to understand what was going on in the movie.

Excellent movie in today's economy
The storyline takes place during the depression. It's easily tranferable to today's economy and peer pressure. My 7 year old daughter hasn't stopped talking about and has her 11 year old brother convinced it's a must see movie. She took heart to County and all of Hobos and has talked about helping the homeless. She has also asked if we will need to sell eggs to pay for gas! You need to see the movie to understand!

Wonderful movie for all ages
This movie was so wonderful. It gives us all a chance to see what life was like in the depression but in a non-scary way. This movie has given us a lot to discuss as a family and shows us all how grateful we should be for all we have. Very entertaining for all ages. My 7 year old daughter, myself and my 67 year old mother loved the movie.

Loved it!
I loved this movie. It was a great mother daughter movie although I wish I would have sent her with her father since the movie deals with the father daughter bond more then with the mother and daughter. It did have moments when my 7 yr old would ask what was going on. Primarily when the houses were in foreclosure and the dad leaves to go find work elsewhere. We loved the mystery and the suspense and the whole experience was super fun.

Great story of courage, conviction and perseverence
My 7 year old daughter is a big American Girl fan, so seeing this movie was a must. I was really pleased by the movie which chronicles a young girl whose family is struggling financially during the Depression. Kit is a great girl who displays conviction, perseverence, loyalty, and courage. We all enjoyed the movie, even my 7 year old son. It's truly a film that the entire family can enjoyed.
