Movie Review:<br />

Bridge to Terabithia<br />

Reviewed by Elinor Florence<br />

Bridge to Tarabithia begins as classic<br />

Walt Disney fare.<br />

It's the story of two lonely pre-adolescent<br />

children who make friends on<br />

the school bus and fi nd comfort in each<br />

other's company.<br />

It's a stretch to imagine that either<br />

of these two - both heart-breakingly<br />

cute and smart - could ever be considered<br />

losers, even by their cruel peers,<br />

but hey, it's just a movie.<br />

Josh Hutcherson as the boy who<br />

craves his father's attention, and Anna-<br />

Sophia Robb as the little girl next door,<br />

are both very appealing kids who will<br />

undoubtedly be sought after for other<br />

movies if they manage to avoid the curse<br />

of the child actor.<br />

A third actor, Jennifer Matichuk,<br />

playing the boy's little sister, is cute as<br />

a button, too.<br />

Anyway, the two kids explore the<br />

property at the back of their joint farmland<br />

and by swinging across the river on<br />

a rope, they fi nd an old tree fort (so far<br />

this is every kid's fantasy) and imagine<br />

a world of their own where there are no<br />

bullies or chores or mean teachers.<br />

Th e girl, Leslie, is the more imaginative<br />

of the two and she names their<br />

special place Terabithia.<br />

Although they do imagine some<br />

pretty frightening monsters and some<br />

helpful trolls and fl ying soldiers, this<br />

movie is not the special eff ects extravaganza<br />

we are used to seeing in movies<br />

like Lord of the Ring.<br />

In fact, the special eff ects play a<br />

minor role in the movie, which is more<br />

about kids coping with bad things that<br />

happen.<br />

Right in the middle of the movie,<br />

something really unexpected and really<br />

bad happens.<br />

I assume this is why the movie is<br />

rated Parental Guidance, as some young<br />

children could be aff ected by the tragedy<br />

that affl icts one of the main characters. I<br />

certainly couldn't help crying.<br />

Th e movie seems to take a darker<br />

turn at this point, and the remainder of<br />

the story is about guilt, sorrow and redemption.<br />

Kids expecting a real knock<br />

'em, sock 'em movie with monsters and<br />

superheroes will be disappointed.<br />

On the bright side, it does have a<br />

happy ending as the power of Terabithia<br />

triumphs over all.<br />
