Ramona Quimby is a fearsomely imaginative and disaster-prone 9 year old who lives on Klickitat Street with her mother and father and her 15 yr old sister, Beezus. Technically speaking, Ramona has been on Klickitat St. since the 50s.when Beverly Cleary first wrote her there, and this littlest Quimby was goofing things up for decades before the wimpy kid would write his diaries, or that British brat with the creepy scar got hauled off to that odd boarding school.
What made her work then and now is that she has no superpowers, great insights, or special secrets or abilities. She was a little girl with a big imagination who was often misunderstood, meant well, and found a great disconnect between her restless energy and what she did with it.
Turns out, giving kids a protagonist with whom they can relate can still be an effective way to sell a picture. Although, having stars helps too. Which may explain why in this cinematic adaptation of Clearys cute and clever books, Selena Gomez as Beezus gets to be front and center despite the fact it really is Ramonas show. No matter, because the charming Gomez has a real rapport and chemistry with newcomer Joey King, who has a mischievous smile and wide eyes and manages to shrug her shoulders in exactly the right way after an improbable accident has taken place.
The script is mostly a series of episodes in which Ramona wrecks things and her harried family attempts to navigate around them, with Beezus flabbergasted by her sisters capacity for chaos, and the second tier of adults adding some wise and wonderful bits as they muster the energy necessary to deal with their little adolescent tornado.
This filmisnt just the contents of ClearysBeezus and Ramona, but also includes pieces of all the other books, includingRamona Quimby, Age 8andRamona the Brave.On the singular level of being a good film,Ramona and Beezusisnt ambitious enough to succeed. But as an ode to Clearys characters and the warm-hearted view of American families they represent, I found it effective and even refreshing. For parents looking for a film to takethe little onesto,Ramonamay be just the soothing summer balm the doctor ordered.
