SAMEEE

I mean, same here.

I've seen an amazing cast of actors do flop movies also.

Same.

I was sooo excited that Kathy Bates was playing the Grandma! Rachel McAdams is just cool.

🙋

Same girl, same! 🥰

I am a guy, but I read this book and all of Judy Blume’s books!! I am more than thrilled to finally see this happen?!!!❤🙏

ME TOO!!! 🥰🤩

Same!🥰🙋🏻‍♀️

Director and writer James Brooks? Oh yea, it'll be very good!

LIAR

I guess for older people of a different background than many of us

👏👏👏

I will have to reread the book BUT they updated the book..

Oh my Lord I am so excited about this! With a new Matilda musical coming out, I was thinking today like yeah sure roald Dahl is cool but where are some Judy blume movies damn it?! So I got so excited I was kind of silently cheering and welled up with tears just a bit lol Also, I'm an artist and designer now and love that you noticed and gave us some facts about this whole getting the rights to the official Judy Bloom cover font... Love love love love love

Isnt she the child actress from the 'Forever my girl' movie? I loved that movie.

She's the actress that played Cassie in the Antman movies. So happy she's continued to act.

The font!!!! The decade!!! I’m so happy!!!

What do you mean official cover? There's a lot of covers , my copy had painted nales as the cover ,Which one is the official cover ?

Same. I learned so much from Judy's books that no one else had bothered to teach me.

Boys should read it, too!:)

My gosh I was 9! 😂By 13, my friends and I were sneaking my mom’s historical romances from the bathroom cupboard, lol. And recently I have been able to exchange comments with the writer of the first book we snitched. She says a lot of people tell her that they were taking their mother’s books.

me too i was more of a ramona fan but i loved this one i def will share with my girls

Oh my mother made me read this book and she too had all boys lol

Same with my father saying that to me.

She sounded like my grandpa even though we were in his house so much that we almost lived there. We were only at my mother's place to sleep. My mother and her siblings say he used to say that all the time, ever since they were really little. And that he got all stern and questioned them since they were toddlers about what were they going to do when he died. He was super morbid.

Jewish guilt is powerful. ;)

@@carenlissner454 the dad is Jewish. Not the mom. Although I don't know if the grandma is on her side or the fathers.

@@Foustdoodles98 Yeah I think Kathy Bates is playing the Jewish grandma, but you're right, the mom isn't.

Shes so overlooked I think, but she's gorgeous and so talented. Love her, if you haven't seen Midnight in Paris, give it a go.

@@GreenClassified shes insanely beautiful. LIke shes 44 wtf!

@@dianeyoung8130 absolutely. She looks amazing.

I feel the same about the song - SO perfectly chosen!!!!

Rachel is soooo pretty

Thank you for your service! (Librarians ROCK.)

How wonderful. Love this 💕🙏

I know how great that is, I became a Children's Librarian and one my highlights of my career was meeting Judy Blume at the Key West Literary Fest and yes we do rock🎸

Hope many kids nowadays get into books like we did before.....

You would be surprised, the Libraries I worked at in Broward County Florida were always packed and we put on huge reading festivals for the families. It was a great job

I am older gen z (1998) and read all these books listed and loved them so much. I can’t wait to watch this movie when it comes out.

Blubber is ingenious. I've never read another book that's actually from the point of view of a semi-bully. It really got the subtle dynamics right.

Exactly. Feel like every comment should reference what year we read Judy Blume (because who didn’t read ALL her books after AYTG…?) in support of this exact feeling. For me, it was 1983. It was a natural progression to read these after my mom forced me through the What’s Happening To Me? books and birds and bees talk. Junior High health classes were a breeze after that!

I read Tiger Eyes over and over and over !!!!

The name Ralph still makes me smirk

It’s actually nice that they do that they were preserving kids

I think you mean 25 year olds dressed like 21 year olds playing 16 year olds? 😂

This is so true!! Or when they have grown adults play kids. It never feels right

You’re right thank you I rather have children see this!

We need more normal glad to see them deliver...

Loved the 70's. I agree that the time period will make this movie a must see!

Can you imagine? They would have to tell an entirely different story if set in modern day

Love the 70s! 💖Best years of my life!!

Yeah, I remember reading Blubber in middle school. It was such a dark book to be written for kids, but it nailed what it's like to be bullied.

I suspect this is the reason why we have not had an adaptation until now. I am happy it is here, but kinda wish it was around earlier.

I think there’s still a lot of people that think this is way too graphic. I mean, just look at how Disney’s Turning Red got a lot of criticism for talking about periods in the movie. It’s about time this stuff was normalized and we stop treating natural bodily functions like they’re something to be ashamed of

This one was tame by comparison to ‘Forever’ 😆 that one caused a massive scandal, apparently!

Hope you didn't read Tiger Eyes then, I had to hide that one from my parents in case they realised how 'racy' it was 😅

@@katedaniels9020 And 'Forever' - that was *the* book to hide from your parents and everyone had to read it and passed copies around 😅

you can still read it! I am 33 and read it last year and it is still relatable and a fun read.

I'm 29 and I read it back in the day, they did change some things to make it make more sense for modern readers in the 90s but her books were still popular even then, they had references to a lot of 70s things like menstrual belts.

I'm 33 and I have very fond memories of reading this book as a sixth grader. I mean, my friends and I poked fun at parts of it, but it was very relateable.

I’m 24 and read it in middle school

@gensai93 I'm the same age. We read it in Grade 10 for school. Loved it. I too was a late bloomer. 😂

Holy cow I have a twin

@@presentfuture7563 🥰🥰🥰

Hello, fellow Gen X misfit! I have a feeling the theaters will be full of people like us. :)

@@mkkp1308 I think so too! I'm beyond excited. I remember always thinking what a great movie this would make. Especially after seeing the movie "Now and Then" in the mid nineties. ☺️

@@mkkp1308 I'm in this club too! Well, if you'll have me.

Read it, please. The book is always better. Judy Blume is phenomenal!! Other greats: Tales of a 4th grade nothing, and Blubber

Books don’t have a age requirement, even now, you should read it😊

I love how the movie kept the detail about Margaret buying the "Teenage Softies" brand of menstrual pads

She went from Regina George to a mom 😂 Rachel McAdams has range as an actress I love it

​@@janderson947 she played regina George the same year she starred in the notebook

@@kittymcmeowmeow1 so versatile she is a great actress everyone either knows her as Allie on the notebook or Regina George on mean girls and before then she played a mean girl as well with Rob Schneider 😂

same

I googled it to check it wasn't one of those spoof trailers people put together. Had no idea they'd made a film!

I was waiting for that part! 🤣😂 I just knew they couldn't leave that out of the trailer

Me too! I am guilty of even trying it XD

My friends and I would do it, and then fall down laugh-screaming😂😂😂

Omg those were the best books and the best times…

I loved and read every book she wrote! Just awesome author that totally related!

Sure I remember a TV series based on Suprerfudge in the '90s. Forever is good too.

The Fudge series was so essential to my elementary school childhood! I'll be 36 in March and one of my favorite parts of 4th grade was story time after lunch! My teacher (Mrs. Rich!) loved reading Judy Blume books to us. Unfortunately, I never read Are You There, God? because my family is Buddhist and I had assumed that I wouldn't be able to relate to this book since we didn't believe in God. If I had known what the plot of the book was, I probably would've given it a try! Watching this trailer brought tears to my eyes because it seems like no matter how old I get, reliving the awkwardness of puberty will never not be relatable. At least now I get to laugh about it!

I know, right! How is this book only being made after I already have gray hair? Took too long.

I think you should pass it on to your boys. My 30 year old son asked for a lesson in periods so he could better understand what we go through. He spaced out during those classes in school, lol.

Wow. Same! Devoured every Judy Blume book as a kid.

oh wow. So teary eyed. I'm laughing crying. So excited!!

oh you're not the only one!

Did they help LOL…..well, I jus couldn’t resist, lmao!!! I was in the gen too, oh for the love of the ‘70’s….and plz do tell me-where that hell did 50 yrs go ??!! ❤️ 😱👎😛🌀😊🙏🌞❤️❗️

@@HeartWorX.Creations Not the 70's. We were doing it as kids in the late 90's 😂. But I can't believe that was 25 years ago. It's crazy how fast time goes.

@@bunny_0288 oh wow, I didn’t realize that book carried over thru the gen’s!!

@@HeartWorX.Creations Yes! I read it when I was 11-12 probably right around the year 2000, but my older sister taught me and our younger sister that song and the exercise before I ever read it. Probably not the most appropriate song to teach young girls, but we thought it was funny lol. So I don't know if she just heard the song from someone else or if she actually read the book. I'll have to ask her. She's not a big reader, so I wouldn't be surprised if the song was making the rounds without people realizing where it originally came from

My Mom has also passed on and I would have loved to have seen this with her as she heard me talk so much about Judy Blume and this book in particular, but she never read any of these books. I know our moms will be there with us in spirit!

True ✌️

I really like this movie 🥰

Do you know where can I see it? 🥺💞💞💞💞

@@5lives1love 123 movies

@@5lives1love UKposts dont give me to write exactly address

Lol it was so relatable in 1973! ❤️ read All her books!

It reminds me of the wonder years in that respect.. Very clever straddles two generations . The parents who were there and the kids craving nostalgia today

I was born in 1991, so you're around my age. I definitely loved and related to this book when I was in middle school.

I read the book when I was 11 in the 80s (and some of the stuff in the book, like period belts, were already dated and not a thing by then), so it makes me smile to know that pre-teens were still reading it at least thru the early 2000s.

@katy k I loved the Wonder Years and the reboot is also fantastic.

Planning on rereading her books as well.

I was born in 1968 and read this in the 70s. I think the way parenting was done wiht puberty stuf is that your parents gave you a BOOK... "HERE read this book" or had it lying around so you would just find it... I had 2 other ilustrated books on Reproduction and andother on Puberty called "Whats happening to me" LOL.. JUst ended up in the house and I read them.

@@caeligood6607 Yeah. Any time I asked a question I got yelled at if I did my school work I would learn in science any answers to questions I had. I was never THAT interested! So I ended up an old maid, nothing to do with men.

Aww thanks so much. I love you all too 🥰

@@rachelperera7772 😂 ❤️

Not to mention that the girl playing Margaret played Cassie Lang in Ant-Man

Yes

@@ravinialee269 Holy 💩, I just realized that was Cassie before Endgame. Goddamn look how big she’s grown.

They use too back in the 90s snd 200s now disney has dumped themselves down alot the only descent show is Racens Home now unless you watch Disney XD or Disney plus for more mature content it's sad... really ...

I'm guessing you never grew up with Splat-era Nickelodeon? Now those were the days! So many of those shows were so relatable and taught valuable life lessons. Then Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel became popular and Nick unfortunately decided to take a page from Disney's book with shows that were more about "how to be popular" than "to thine own self be true." Luckily, Nick has started to make a decent comeback within the last decade with things like the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie and the Rugrats reboot.
