It's something that you would not be unhappy seeing on television, [but] there's nothing that calls it for you to go see it on the big-screen.

Honesty about the difficulties, both large and small, of being part of a family is what Ramona and Beezus does best, even if the rough and dangerous edges have been filed down.

Allen's direction is bright and imaginative; particularly enjoyable are the movie's occasional flights of fancy.

Joey King will bounce back.

The film tries to appeal to audiences of all ages, and for the most part "reels you in like a sea bass," as Ramona would say.
