“Whatever happened to happy-ever afters? This is possibly the most miserable childrens’ film I’ve ever been to.”

There are so many happily ever afters in films now that I can’t believe you want another one. Do you know what the real tragedy of this movie and the way its marketing was used is? It’s that the marketers think audiences are stupid because:

A) They think people will be fooled into thinking The Bridge to Terabithia will be Narnia Two Point Oh, and will spend 12 dollars to just see more of the same thing.

B) Going with that thought, marketers do not trust audiences to go see a movie that tries to deal with true to life issues. So they have to market the movie as something much dumber to attract a dumber audience.

Marketers should have more faith in people to go see a good movie. But then, we are the audience that made Transformers and X-Men: Wolverine to be commercial successes. So quite frankly, I’m inclined to agree with the marketing people that audiences cannot be trusted to go see a good movie.

[...] brought you joy when you were young (check out “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” and “The Bridge to Terabithia” for more of this lesson). Sure, it may be trite, but I’ve always found it to be one of the better [...]

U kno…ppl always gota look at movies as if theyre supposed to take us away from the real world…and they are. But ive noticed that many ppl dont like the movies with the realistic endings…i also used to like the “happily ever after” endings….i still do sometimes. But I LOVED this movie…i was a little bored, if thats the correct word, during the middle, but the ending totally caught me off guard. At first i hated it…but then i got thinkin…and after bout 10 minutes of crying…lol…i realized that the ending showed how strong ppl can still b after a kind of traumatic occurence as losing a best friend…and there are plenty of other morales in this movie….all in all….it has some underlying tones most kids would not understand….and thats wat made it enjoyable to me. Im only 18 and i have not cried that much since…like the Titanic….lol…I give this movie…

4 1/2 STARS

Impeccable story… If you’re looking for another Narnia kind of fairy tale, then this is not for you. Yep! It is heartbreaking, but without which it would have been just another fairy tale which might not have explained the pain of losing such a precious friend in your life. I never take things so personally when it happens on the screen, but this is one among the exceptions…

I thing this is an amazing movie i just saw it for the first time and although the subplots are accepting people for who they are and now how they live, i think that the main hidden meaning in this movie would have to be the fact of how people can affect anothers life and how much people can better eachother

I agree with Debra. The film is really depressing. What is the morale of the story? – especially one aimed at young viewers? Certainly not that good will triumph over bad. A teacher does a good turn, boy has a lovely enriching day – and ends up feeling depressed and guilty because of the turn of events. What is this teaching our kids? It could have been a lovely film – but I just wish we could re-write the outcome. I’m an adult and the film left me feeling miserable and hopeless. I pity the kids who have to try to work this one out.
