Ramona Quimby is Back! The new movie "Ramona and Beezus" based on the beloved Beverly Cleary "Ramona" series of books hits theaters July 23rd!
I love the tag line for this movie: "a little sister goes a long way"! [It's so true, believe me, I grew up with 5 sisters!]
The movie has a great cast:
Joey King=Ramona
Selena Gomez=Beezus
John Corbett=Mr. Quimby
Bridget Moynahan=Mrs. Quimby
Ginnifer Goodwin=Aunt Bea
Josh Duhamel=Uncle Hobart
Sandra Oh=Mrs. Meacham (Ramona's Teacher)
The movie is Rated "G", so it's fun for the whole family!
If you get a chance, try reading the book first. "Beezus and Ramona"
Beezus and Ramona was the first book Beverly Cleary wrote introducing the characters of the Quimby sisters. The first "official" book in the Ramona series is "Ramona the Pest" in which Ramona goes to school and starts kindergarten.
I suggest you read them all! Ramona is a great character-she was popular way before anyway had ever even heard of another pest of a kindergartner-Junie B. Jones!
Movies are just one way to bring books and technology together....just remember!...the book is always better than the movie! So, read the book, then go enjoy the movie with your friends and family!
Your site looks very professional. I tried to vote on the book turned movie, but it did not accept my vote. Just wanted you to know!
