I watched this Elizabeth Allen movie day before yesterday and loved it! Ramona and Beezus is definitely going on my all-time-favorite-movies list! I am looking forward to reading the books by Beverly Cleary too!
Here are a few of my favorite parts of the movie, come relive it with me! Why? Because there is magic in every jar!’
(Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
- Roberta dancing to the Royal Peanut Butter commercial! *giggle-twirl-giggle-look cute-giggle-shake tiny fists-giggle*
- The accidental ‘delishus’ rainbow colors which dress up Hobart’s Range Rover!
- The sketches on the book in Ramona’s suitcase! Gotta love Ramona indeed..
- Beezus’ torch scare!
- Ramona’s toe puppets resulting in Roberta’s curious ‘what are you’ expression!
- Jumping through the hole! Wheee! I can fly!!!
- And in so many ways..I am Ramona and Ramona is me..
- ‘I’m not gloating! I’m bouncing!!’
- Ramona and Picky Picky in the bathtub. ‘Nobody thinks I can, but I can. I can be extraordinary!’
- After Roberta sprays Ramona with peas: ‘What a darling little sister. I wish there were ten of you!’
- I could spend hours adoring The Longest Picture in the World!
- Hobart, just before he kisses his bride, ‘And I still owe you that quarter. And I want to spend the rest of my life trying to pay it back.’
- Happy endings!
- The proper way to break a hard-boiled egg! I am going to try that someday soon!
- Hobert a la Hulk: ‘Be stronggg!’
- The cinematography which, I believe, utilizes one of my favorite types of picture coloration: sepia tone.. Love the feel and textures!
- Beezus: ‘Who could ever love someone named Beezus?!’
Ramona: ‘Jesus?’
- Music!! The more I see the less I know!
- ‘Yes!’ *excited Ramona* ‘The answer’s still no!’ *awww!*
- Live like there’s no tomorrow. This song witnessed one of the greatest changes in my life and I would want it no other way!
And now I am off to watch it..for the fourth time?
(Thank you for the movie and for you, L! You’re my immortal Picky Picky!)
