Bridge to Terabithia is a poignant tale of friendship.  It deals with the very real issue of bullying in a realistic, and at time humorous, way.  The movie shows the power of imagination.  It will make you laugh and even cry.  I was very unprepared for the unexpected twist this movie took towards the end (think My Girl).  My 7 year old liked the movie because she thought the ending was good.  Of course, Morgan has a very vivid imagination herself.  I could totally see her creating a world such as Terabithia.  I have mixed feelings about the movie.  I thought it had some good messages contained within.  The problem is that I went expecting these children to actually go to another place (much like The Chronicles of Narnia).  The commercials led one to believe that was what was going to happen.  Therefore, my mixed feelings about the movie had more to do with my expectations than anything else.  Overall, it was a good movie.  If you don't catch it in the theater, it is a renter for sure!
