Beautiful movie! So sweet, adorable and sad and hard-hitting at times too!

Starts as a run-of-the-mill film, but I'll be honest I didn't see that turn in the second half coming - in a good way.

<em>'Bridge to Terabithia'</em>, in my opinion, is just short of being anything more than good, but I go away from viewing it in a much more touched state than I would've predicted at the midway point; the second half is very well done.

Josh Hutcherson (Jess) and AnnaSophia Robb (Leslie) make for a fine pairing, I bought their friendship from the beginning - Hutcherson's performance steadily gets better as the film progresses. I also took notice of Robert Patrick (Jack) and Zooey Deschanel (Ms. Edmunds), but it's very much the Hutcherson/Robb show.

Overall, it's an endearing film with a pretty creative premise. I like it.
