A period piece set in the Great Depression and based on the extremely popular American Girl book series, Kit Kittredge is a moving and believable story about a smart 10-year-old girl whose family is profoundly affected by the Depression. May, 1934 finds Kit Kittredge (Abigail Breslin) living a very comfortable life in a nice home with her mother (Julia Ormond) and father (Chris O'Donnell) despite the Depression that is affecting many of her neighbors. When her father's auto dealership is taken back by the bank, Kit's father is forced to head for Chicago to look for work, leaving his family struggling to make ends meet by taking in borders. Kindhearted and generous by nature, Kit's nose for news and her aspirations of becoming a great reporter lead her to write a portrait of the boardinghouse run by her mother, essentially a kid's view of the Depression as well as an article about hobos that challenges many commonly held prejudices. Kit determinedly submits her articles to the local Cincinnati Register paper, regardless of the chief editor's stern ways and obvious lack of interest. When her own family and boarders become the victims of a crime, Kit's must utilize her investigative skills to solve the crime and exonerate her friend Will (Max Thieriot). Breslin's performance in this film is stellar--viewers can't help but believe that she is Kit Kittredge. The filmmakers' attention to detail ensures that everything from scenery props to music and dialogue seem completely authentic, and performances by Joan Cusack as the mobile librarian, Stanley Tucci as the traveling magician, Jane Krakowski as the desperate-for-love dance instructor, and Zach Mills as Kit's young friend, are all impressive. Serious American Girl fans, period film lovers, and viewers just looking for a good story will love this film. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

If you're going to make an innocent film or a "family" film, this is how you do it.
The film is enjoyable and never mean-spirited *except where the plot calls for it*. The whole sassy/smarmy thing is old; Hollywood needs to get over it.
This film is full of real characters -- as real as they can be in a period piece -- who are *genuinely* kind and helpful with each other. It harks back to the Disney films and more innocent stories of decades past, and earns nearly every ... Read More

We rented this movie after my 7 year old read Meet Kit. The whole family enjoyed watching it (except my 3 year old son) so much that we decided to buy it for our daughter. After watching it she couldn't wait to read the other books! Yes, it was a little corny at times, but great for families. Be aware, it covers the high points of the Kit series, not just one book, so if you haven't read them all, it's kind of a spoiler.

A great fun clean family movie. Demonstrates that good family movies can be made (you'll love it!) and proud to share it.

I thought that this would be a fabulous movie for my daughter. Well, it was and I thought that the entire family should watch together! It was a wonderful story about compassion and hard times just as we are having now. Get it now...for your whole family. Mine came in GREAT condition!
