I find it difficult to believe that even a nine-year-old would sit through this one. The story line cute, and it could have been a really great family movie, but the script is so sluggish. The movie even interjects musical cues... Full review

Broadening the popular American Girl brand of dolls, books and other paraphernalia into the realm of feature films, Kit Kittredge tells the tale of an aspiring ten-year-old reporter (charming Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin) searching for her first big break amid the turmoil of The Great Depression. ...

It's a wonderful story to be told through a child's eyes.
If the moment was fresh and free, and we caught the spark, we had it on camera at different angles instantaneously.

This film is honest and wholehearted, and centered around family and the triumph over hardships.
Chris O'Donnell does a lovely job as the father, and Julia Ormond is excellent in her motherly role.
And Abigail Breslin is perfect in this movie.

Joan Cusack is simply wonderful as the ditzy bookmobile librarian.
They are well acted and provide a peek at the past in a format the whole family can enjoy as a learning experience.
This is a film that is sure to become a family favorite.

The film looks very bright and cheery on Blu-ray and not at all glum for being set in the Great Depression.
Where the disc disappoints is in the special features department as it would've been nice to have some historical documentaries or more about the American Girl line.
