Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

The brilliant movie is set in Cincinnati at the height of the Great Depression, Kit Kittredge(Abigail Breslin), a resourceful young girl, helps her mother(Julia Ormond) run a boardinghouse after her father(Chris O Donnel) loses his job.
This story centers around Kit Kittredge, who grows up in the struggle years of the Great Depression.10 year old Kit lives in a boarding house her parents own in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kit has a passion for writing, & dreams of having something of hers put in the local paper someday and her grit and determination and hope and attitude of not giving up does shape her dream into reality and that is very very inspirational indeed.
Coming to other aspects of the movie the settings and clothing were accurate.There were other very interesting characters too in the movie like Joan Cusack playing the role of Moblie Librarian and Stanley Tucci playing the role of Magician.
This movie definitely emphasizes on the fact that what one sees is not always not true and the truth sometimes gets hidden with huge layers of lie and deceit and only us human beings could possibly do this.
What I loved about the movie is how people stood for each other in these testing times which is fast vanishing these days..Times are such these days that one finds the so called true and old friends deceiving at times not to forget own siblings as well following this path of cheat and deceit and nothing in life can be more painful than that...
The movie definitely is full of hope and teaches a many useful lessons of life like counting on the blessings we have and hoping for the best even in the toughest of times..
A definite must watch for all ages..
