This feature production from Nickelodeon is based on a popular kids' book from the 1960s by Louise Fitzhugh, and stars Michelle Trachtenberg as an 11-year-old wannabe journalist who writes all her observations about friends in a diary. When the book is stolen and read by her peers, she's ostracized. The film is hard to watch for all its sensory overload (rapid cuts, kooky camera angles), but its theme of finding a balance between a commitment to one's voice and one's obligations to others is fairly wise stuff. With Rosie O'Donnell and Eartha Kitt. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Harriet The Post Cold-War Spy
I first read HARRIET THE SPY in a Children's Literature course in college. I had been vaguely aware of the title for a while, but I don't think it ever would have occurred to me to read it. But I found it surprisingly good, with a fair amount of honest insight into childhood relationships, what it means to be a bit different, and some truths about growing up in an urban environment that made it a compelling read. I started recommending to other adult readers--especially those who (unlike me) had grown ... Read More
Rating: - Better than the book, mostly
I am 43 and listened to the book on CD with my daughter. We then rented the movie. I somehow missed this book when I was a kid. Maybe our grade school librarian didn't like it?
Many reviewers complain about the movie dragging before getting to the real plot. Trust me, it's greatly condensing the interminable descriptions in the book of Harriet's spying victims.
I was grateful the movie eliminated the absolutely horrid stuff Harriet wrote in the school newspaper at the end of ... Read More
