You’d think the ending of the movie is actually the middle of the movie but no. Okay movie for $5…

The movie was good reminds you of when you were a kid and all the things we go throw, also you may think God is not there even though he doesn’t answer your prayers but maybe there is something better for you than what you are asking for.

Movie was great! I just have some concerns about the theater I went to. The theater was great. I just think that it was a little bit over priced for one beverage was almost $10 and for a popcorn was $10. It was the smallest popcorn I’ve ever seen. The staff was great again…

My daughter read the book when she was in the sixth grade, so we decided to have a mother daughter date and went to see the movie together. It was an awesome movie. Full of laughter and real-life events.

Went with my 13yr old daughter, and wow perfect mom/daughter movie! Heart felt movie, great actors and a wonderful way to spend our Sunday afternoon

The movie was one of the best coming of age stories I’ve seen. It demonstrated the conflict of religion perfectly. Also I wasn’t expecting the movie to be so funny. They also handled the periods really well.

EK
Eleni Konsolakis

I have never read the book..but the movie was ok..I don't understand why religion was based on it. It kinda defeated the purpose of growing up and growing pains .. Having a menstrual cycle and involving puberty and God isn't exactly what I expected. The ending sucked.

The movie sticks pretty close to the book. It's a great movie for anyone who has ever gone through puberty.

The sense that they don’t make mass entertainments like this anymore is palpable.

Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret is a delightful film, just lovely.

If the drama feels occasionally slight, read it as a way in which the film is asking you to understand the perspective of its central character — for Margaret, it’s momentous. And for me, the twentysomething guy in a Bride of the Monster T-shirt and Dr. Martens seeing this movie solo, well, I left choked up seeing something so assiduously warm and sincere.
