I don’t know if this is unpopular or not, but I don’t really like the movie. Some of the actresses aren’t very good and they don’t fit this image I gave in my head. I remember reading a review of the movie that was something like "the fans of the books deserve a better movie than this". It's not a great movie by any means, and a lot of the acting is questionable. The movie Now and Then was released at almost the exact same time and is a much better/nostalgic movie for young girls IMO. (I did like the little Dawn/Alan romance at the time, though. lol.)

Not sure if these are unpopular but I like some of Claudia's outfits even today and I think it would be nastier if she ate greasy fatty foods than if she chose sugary snacks.

I actually see the BSC having acne as teenagers in high school just like most teenagers do...but they survive it.

I don't know if anyone else thinks this, but I never minded Mallory's complaining, because I felt like I totally understood her in most of her books (Mallory Pike, #1 Fan being the exception - I HATED her there). It's tough to be the kid who's out of touch in a group of cool older kids.

I thought it was reckless and naughty when Karen went off to get a manicure/soda when she was supposed to just get her earplugs and return, not BRATTY.Also can understand where the girls were coming from when they said how bratty Jenny Prezzioso was, what with how she threw a fit even when they were relatively gentle with her. I just don't understand why they would feel guilty if they didn't invite her and the family to events if they thought she was horrible.

Movie Kristy I did not like, nothing about her seemed to really fit the character. Didn’t look like her and didn’t act like her. Something about movie MA I didn’t really like for some reason. Maybe because she and Kristy were supposed to be similar looking and those two definitely did not.

It doesn't really tell us anything when you say vague things like for some reason, but don't name what the reason is. One thing that I did disagree on with the movie Mary Anne is that they forgot the bangs book canon Mary Anne always had. But I still think other than that, Rachel Leigh Cook made a great Mary Anne right down to her big brown eyes...much better than Megan Lahey.

I personally think that Meghan Lahey did a better job of portraying the character of Mary Anne, even though she didn’t look anything like Mary Anne.

This is probably the most unpopular, but here it is: I thought it was ridiculous that Karen got punished for not including David Michael with the investigating agency but wanting to just stick with her two best friends..I mean, how many times have her brothers/stepbrothers left her out of fun and did not get punish for it? See the inconsistency in the reasoning there?

I don't remember that scene (was it in Little Sister?) but it does seem silly. There are plenty of times when it doesn't make sense for siblings to share everything. I think it would be a lot more important for Karen to have those independent spaces where she could have some autonomy and choose her company herself. As long as she's still friendly and shares other things with David Michael and the rest of the family, I feel like this is pretty harmless.
