It's no wonder that Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. is a beloved Judy Blume novel. This story has to be one of the most realistic portrayals of adolescence that I have seen.

As a father of an almost teenage girl, this movie hit close to home. I have to give screenwriter Alison Peck and director Sammi Cohen a lot of credit because they really bring the middle school experience to life.

Say Anything… is not a complicated film and it's refreshing to watch a story that is smart about its themes, but not overbearing.

It's hard not to watch 10 Things I Hate About You with a smile on your face. It has an even balance of a rom-com and a coming of age tale, and when done correctly, is a formula that can easily appeal to a mass audience.
