Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer

Rotten: Though the lead actress, newcomer Jordana Beatty, gives a spunky performance as third-grader Judy, her character's borderline bratty charm wears thin fast. Mostly it's undercut by the movie's irritatingly antic slapstick style. – Claudia Puig, USA Today, Jun 9, 2011

Rotten: Too bad, then, that there's no real joy in all the physical business filling the screen, not even in Judy's animated daydreams. Bummer. – Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times, Aug 30, 2011

Rotten: "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer" is sure to appeal to kids of all ages from 6 to 9 who are female and have no taste or sense of humor. – Kyle Smith, New York Post, Jun 10, 2011

Rotten: With summer comes theaters filled with superheroes, sequels and forgettable family fare. In the last category, we find "Judy Moody." – Sandie Angulo Chen, Washington Post, Jun 10, 2011
