 bad comedy at the end - I was disappointed Feb 04, 2010
We expected this film about Kit during big depression to be at least as good as other American girl movies. We were greatly disappointed - all people from my family including my 9 years old daughter. We were hoping that the movie would tell more or less a real story of the big depression - so similar to the great recession which we have now (2010). The beginning was good. It showed Kit's family and her friends experiencing the signs of depression and dealing with it. It showed the school and kids trying to aprehend what it is about.
The plot of stealing the money and jewelry, the magician, monkey man and the librarian become such a farce that all the other aspects of movie are completely lost. This gives a very bad impression on the rest of the film. The bad comedy at the end spoils it all!
 Endearing and fun. Feb 03, 2010
Set in the Great Depression era, Kit deals with the trials and upset from the economic turmoil of the time. Her friends lose their homes and are forced to move. When her dad loses his job and leaves to find a new one, Kit must help her mother save their home from foreclosure. While taking in borders to pay their mortgage she befriends and helps some homeless boys who need work. Kit gets to use her reporting skills as a mystery unfolds. Someone stole their mortgage money and now they are facing forclosure. All the evidence points to her homeless friend, but Kit is determined to find the truth.
Great for the whole family. My boys enjoy the story as well. Great acting by Breslin. The guest stars Joan Cusack,Stanley Tucci,Chris O'Donnell, Wallace Shawn, and Max Thierot definitely bring this to life.
It's a hit! Jan 10, 2010
Great movie. Very funny & the research seems to follow very true to the era...we love it!
Another great fun, historical and educational movie! Jan 07, 2010
This is a really fun movie. Our entire family has enjoyed watching it (including Dad!). The music in this movie is perfect for the era too.
This is a great movie that includes things like "hoboes" and foreclosures. Ironically, this is a GREAT movie about some of the things that kids are dealing with in 2009/2010.
It talks about soup kitchens, jumping trains, and even saving left-overs. Kit is a real trouper and deals with the depression era really well considering all that she goes through. It talks about important things like the CCC which was an important part of history.
This is such a fun movie with a great ending. Highly recommend it!
Kit Kitredge: An American Girl DVD Jan 07, 2010
My daughter saw this movie when it came out in the movies. She is addicted to the American Girl Dolls. She simply loves this movie. It is holsom and true of the historical affairs of the time of the Great Depression. A must have for a little girl.
