Ramona and Beezus is based on the book Ramona Forever which I am sure is quite popular among the very young readers (8-13 age group).
Ramona Quimby (Joey King) lives in a typical middle class neighborhood on the west coast(USA). Her family consists of Father Robert (John Corbett), Mother Dorothy (Bridget Moynahan), big Sister Beatrice, or, Beezus (Selena Gomez) and a new baby sister. Also close to the Quimbys is their mother's sibling, Aunt Bea (Ginnifer Goodwin)and her hot school sweetheart Hobart(Josh Duhamel). Unlike Beezus, who is an excellent student and very mature for a budding teenager, Ramona struggles at school, especially with her no-nonsense teacher (Sandra Oh).Every actor/actress fits in their respective character just perfect which adds to the extra sparkle of this movie.Joey King as Ramona stands out she is so very adorable.
Ramona's family's life comes at a very emotional point when her dad loses his job amidst his set of responsibilities but the whole family the critical situation makes this movie really beautiful no over dramatic situations but very realistic and very positive at that.
This movie is completely entertaining and light at the same time real issues of life are managed very well and its an extremely positive movie in all aspect.
Loved it and recommend this one strongly

Rabbit Hole - Simple and touching story with brilliant performances
Based on a play by David Lindsay-Abaire this movie is an emotional journey of a happy couple (Nicole Kidman & Aaron Eckhart) whose life comes upside down when they lose their four year son in a freak helpless accident yes sad as it sounds so are the circumstances and situations tackled by this couple..the ups and down and it is downs most of downs when people get this feeling everyone is having a great life except for them and their insecurities come up in various different ways which are negative of course.
The couple trying cope up the tragedy by attending dinners,bereavement groups and none seem to be helping them and the wife trying to give away the clothes of her son,deleting the video from her husband's mobile are truly emotional and realistic scenes ...don't we all try to forget our deep hidden pains in various and the more we try to hide them the more it seems to surface up ultimately one has to face it up and deal with it upfront to get through with it for once and for all and this has been portrayed most simply yet beautifully in this movie.
I would say everyone's performance is great but Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart are outstanding.
So if you are looking for a good story with great performances go for this one you won't regret..I loved it.
