Leave your thoughts about So B. It.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe strong cast, including John Heard, Dash Mihok, Jacinda Barrett and Cloris Leachman, sells the warm, at times cloying material with earnest conviction. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohDysfunctional-family mysteries are unearthed in this delicately rendered but rather pallid adaptation of a novel. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. Means... shifts unsteadily from preposterous to heartbreaking without feeling authentic at any moment. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe plot of So B. It isn't always easy to swallow, but the depth of emotion generated by the actors helps to compensate. |
| New York TimesTeo Bugbee"So B. It" aims for an inclusive message. But Mama's artificiality makes it hard to buy the movie's themes of acceptance. |
| User ReviewBecky CJust saw the premiere showing of this movie in Logansport Indiana. It was excellent. The acting was great and tbe writing was wonderful. Very faithful to the novel. Ignore the curmudgeon critics who are critical of anything that isn't violent or sexual. This is a warm and realistic picture of humanity and a child that dreams of discovering her family roots. |
| User ReviewSarah WAbsolutely beautiful. Incredible performances. Very true to the book. If you loved the book you will love the movie. Ignore the PG13 rating. A perfect family movie for kids 4th grade and up. GO SEE IT! |
| User ReviewDan II very much enjoyed this movie especially knowing it was made with a $2 million budget. Creative story and was pleased book author Weeks brought early viewing of the movie to her childhood hometown Ann Arbor. Excellent family movie (bring the kids over 10) with opportunity for all to have discussions about diversity issues, mental health, and what makes a family. |
| User ReviewRick LA wonderful heartwarming movie with strong performances from the cast. |
| User ReviewGillian MSo B. It is one of the best book-to-film adaptations I have seen. Sticking to the plot almost perfectly, the portrayals of the characters were convincing, down to the child best friend who had only a few lines. I was disappointed to see that the disabled characters did not get more screen time, but the story did not shy away from unpleasant topics. |
