Rachel McAdams and Abby Ryder Fortson blossom in the appealing margaretmovie, JudyBlume's controversial story of pre-adolescent angst and struggle
"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." -- ★ ★ ★ ½ One scene in this movie caused me to shed a tear or two, and it happened when Rachel McAdams, playing Barbara Simon, tries to explain to her 11-year-daughter Margaret why her maternal grandparents have cut off all contact with the Simon family since her birth.
For five decades, celebrated author Judy Blume refused to sell the movie rights to her controversial 1970 novel"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
Craig brings that same gentle, knowing sensibility to"Are You There," even if it does slightly send everyone out of the theater with an artificially manufactured reassurance that all's right with the world all of the time.
Once in suburban New Jersey, an unhappy Margaret gets her spirits lifted when a bossy blonde neighbor named Nancy insists she join her tweener club with her fellow women-in-waiting classmates Janie and Gretchen . Her rules require members wear bras, join in conversations about kissing, practice exercises so they can look like Playboy centerfolds, and gossip about classmates, particularly the already developed Laura , a tall and self-conscious social recluse.
