Off the movies

Hello!
A few weeks ago all the school librarians in Massachusetts got an invitation to go to a sneak preview of the new Beezus and Ramona movie. I LOVE Beverly Cleary (and have been reading these books since I was in 3rd grade), so I was not sure if I wanted to see a movie version. Like many people, I always worry that they will wreck the book, but I trusted the people who made this one (Walden Media--they also made the Winn-Dixie movie, Charlotte's web, Narnia movies, etc) so I took my niece and her friend and we went. It was so cool! The movie company gave out free tickets, snacks, and all sorts of books, posters, etc. They raffled off prizes before the movie and told us we were the first people seeing this movie! The movie was good! It combined parts of 5 different books, but in a way that made sense. The movie is based mostly on the later books when Ramona is in 4th grade and Beezus is starting high school. There are lots of really funny parts and it made me want to go and re-read the books. It was nice to see a GOOD movie based on a book! So, what movies from books do you like?
