Selena G, you are no Beezus

Even if you didn't have the expressive artwork of Louis Darling or Alan Tiegreen as a reference, I'm betting you would never have pictured Beezus of Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary as a lush and gorgeous teen, all shiny, bouncy hair and pneumatic lips.Am I right?

I must agree with Bookshelves of Doom that the new Ramona and Beezus movie is indeed a soul-sucking travesty of nightmarish proportions. At least judging by this movie trailer:

    I read an interview with Beverly Cleary where she said that Beezus and Henry actually have a kiss, which she asked them to take out of the movie, but they won't!

    Please Eva don't shun the movie. Studios excetives are just pushing Selena because she gets seats sold, BUT the star and the primary person in the movie is RAMONA (Joey King) who is perfectly cast. She is a normal looking kid, no fashion beauty and breathes Ramona into the character. The movie is soooo funny and it will make you cry too. I saw it in a screening and was so impressed! But it is sad how the studios are pushing the Beezus, when the movie is ALL Ramona!!

    I saw the movie at a screning and it was all about Ramona. She is funny and it is an amazing movie. Stupid people at FOX keep pushing Selena as Beezus when the movie is all Ramona!!! Joey King is a true Ramona and I promise you will love it!

    Okay - that's reassuring. Ramona should after all be the heart of the movie. But that soundtrack - not sure I can cope with that!

    idg how they're pushing Beezus? The trailer is ALL Ramona. Beezus' name is just in the title. I, personally, would not have pictured Selena as Beezus but I think she is a good actress, and I'm excited to see the movie. Plus, I read and loved the Ramona series as a kid.
