I just got done watching this great movie and I’d like to share it with you all! The movie is called “An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong.” It’s a story about a young girl, Chrissa Maxwell, who moves to a new neighborhood and has to start a new school in the middle of the school year. She has to deal with making friends, dealing with bullies and standing up for yourself. The movie is great, especially for kids and teens, but I personally think anyone can enjoy it *smile*. I absolutely loved it… it gave me a good feeling inside at the ending (which is something very rare for me these days). I definitely recommend it!

It’s an American Girl movie, so it’s a bit “cheesy” and some might say that it’s nothing out of the ordinary, but I still think young people should watch it. It has a few good messages that I always try to tell all the kids around me: Be Yourself. Love Yourself and always remember that no one is better than you and you are better than no one else!

If I had to rate it I would give the movie a 5 out of 5 just for giving me that warm fuzzy feeling at the end (lol). Nice family movie, pick it up! You can buy the movie on DVD now at AmericanGirl.com or try to catch it if it airs again on HBO.

WATCH THE MOVIE TRAILER

The Stars: Chrissa is played by the 13 year old actress Sammi Hanratty. I believe this is Sammi’s biggest role in a movie and I must say she did an awesome job! I’ve heard of her before, even visited her websites but this is the first time I’ve seen her in action. You can see some of her work on her fansite HERE. Adair Tishler played Tara the big bully! She played her part really well. I hope to see more of her in the future. I also liked the young actress who played Sonali (Ariela Barer), she’s so cute. I love how she stood up for her self in the movie!
