A kid-detective mystery in the Great Depression.
A young girl, in the Great Depression, plays detective gathering clues about a series of robberies. Her life of perserverance in the Depression. Some cleverness, some plot twists, some good scenes, some emotion, a little humor. Moves slow at times, but pleasantly. Just when it starts to get too slow, it picks up again. Enjoyable. I liked the "Samantha" film in this Amerian Girl series best.

Sweet and simple
Coming from a 16-hear-old girl like myself, this review may be of little help to some people. But to tell my honest opinion, this movie is a good one. And when I say good, I mean it's good. It's clean, has a fun storyline, GREAT actors, cute moments...and altogether leaves you feeling satisfied. While boys and men may not find much they like about it, I would recommend giving it a try. Little girls, teenagers, and moms alike have all told me they loved it...so why wouldn't you? :)

I loved this movie~About Depression era it hits home in todays economy.
This is a great family movie. As an adult I enjoyed it very much. I love movies form the 30-50's time era.
Kit is a sweet and kind child. She wants to be a reporter and actually has some writing ability. Her family is hit hard in the depression and have to take in a house full of boarders just to save the home.
This leads to new friendships and adventures. Kit gets to do more than write stores she gets to solve crimes. It is the kind of movie that just leaves you feeling good.
I watched a rental and now it is on my wish list. I have enjoyed all the American Girl stories and I am 52 yrs old. What can I say there's still a kid in me.

Not as weak as Nim's Island but Breslin's got a long way to go.
Abigail Breslin shows a lot of acumen for her movies like "Little Miss Sunshine," "Definitely, Maybe," and "Raising Helen." Her weak effort was for "Nim's Island," which I found okay but more tolerable. However to describe "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" is describing it as not as weak as "Nim's Island" but unfortunately for Abigail, she needs a lot to get through.
"Kit Kittredge" tells the story of a little girl named Kit whose going through a crazy time with her family during the Great Depression. Her father is leaving home and Kit needs to find a way to save her family's fortune. She wants to publish an article in the newspaper to help save her family from the Great Depression.
It's a good story, but there needs to be a little more meaning to it. I liked the idea of it, but the acting, the dialogue, everything was corney, which unfortunately bothers me. Then the movie gets kind of boring in the middle and a bit slow, but it still picks up the pace along the corniness and bad history puns.
If you have a 10 year old daughter that loves those movies, it's worth the watch. I wouldn't recommend it to a group of boys who are in ninth grade but if you're daughter is about eight years old, she should enjoy herself. I would rather just see this cute little movie once and put it to rest.

Unusual
What a refreshing change! In a world of increasingly violent, filthy, and vulgar movies, Kitt Kittredge stands tall and proud. In essence, this is a solid story with a splendid cast.
The story revolves around its title character, Kitt (Abigail Breslin), a plucky eleven-year-old who deals with peer pressure, drastic changes in her life-style, rejection, etc., etc.
The movie flows well and has a relatively plausible story-line, which at times prompts audible laughter from the audience. There is a serious side,too, including threats (laughable though they may be) against the children and a visit to a hobo "jungle," or camp. I appreciated how they portrayed the hoboes as honest people who were down on their luck. Kitt puts it quite well.
The movie is full of talented young actors and actresses - Max Thieriot, from Nancy Drew and Zach Mills, from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium; as well as pleasantly familiar faces such as Julia Ormond and Chris O'Donnell. And that's just dropping a few names; you'll recognize at least three other faces.
