Judy (Jordana Beatty) has planned the most awesome summer ever and can't wait to have adventures with her best friends, Rocky and Amy. Then she finds out that Rocky is off to tame lions and that Amy is flying to Borneo with her mother to save a lost tribe. Judy is bummed to be left home with her rotten brother, Stink (Parris Mosteller), and her second-best friend, Frank Pearl. And, what's worse, her parents go to California and leave her with an aunt (Heather Graham) she's never even met.

Critics Consensus

Entertaining for some very young viewers, but for those with normal attention spans, Judy Moody is loud hyperactive overload.

Only the children manage to survive it. The adults are totally plastic throughout.

Rated: 2/5

Having a middle-aged male review it is probably ridiculous. So is asking its target audience to listen to a middle-aged male's opinions on the subject.

Ought to go down fine with the 10-year-olds it's aimed at.

Think of this review as a warning: Oh, you can watch the movie if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you.

This is a very embarrassing adaptation of a beloved children's series. Judy Moody may have had a "not bummer summer," I had a bummer viewing experience.

Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer was a very silly cheesy movie. This movie has only one comedic part and it's pretty boring . The Judy Moody movie is one of those movies that are so bad that there good. This movie is best for ages 4-7. Even though Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer is a NOT so good movie, it still doesn't deserve a 21% for critics. Maybe something like 44% would be suitable ( even though my rating is higher). I would give this movie a 58%.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Jaleel White's scene at the beginning is the only drawing point (at least for me, since I have been one of his BIGGEST fans since I was a child). Other than this, STAY AWAY from this movie.

Charismatic embodiment does not disappoint, but if you are indeed interested in watching this instant bummer of fantasized summer for nostalgic reasons over assigned book reading back in elementary, then an audio tape would be the best, possibly tolerable platform while teachers can just stick with the books and their students can be gladly distracted by their definition of a visual treat. (C-)
