i be a 53 year old college professor . i go with my wife and 12 year old daughter . we all enjoy the movie . the film be original and witty and fast paced and totally charm . the plot be easy enough for a 10 year old to follow and but twisty enough to keep an adult interested . i think emma robert do a superb job and the rest of the cast be just fine . my only criticism be that the los angeles set be not as interesting a they should have be . they be functional and but nothing stand out . on the other hand and make up and costume and light and cinematography and editing and directing be excellent . altogether and i think it be a totally enjoyable experience . i be disappoint that the professional critic ( almost all adult male ) savagely attack the film . apparently and they have something against film that portray strong and intelligent and independent young woman . their writing reveal more about their own sexist nature than anything about this wonderful family film . i recommend it strongly to every child and every parent .
