When it comes to movies based on a line of dolls, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl is light-years away from the ultra-commercialized vapidity of Bratz: The Movie.
This sweetly enjoyable family film stars the endearing Abigail Breslin as Kit. And, refreshingly, it’s actually about something — the Great Depression — and tackles such serious issues as prejudice, poverty and homelessness.
But even as serious topics are interspersed throughout the story, the film manages to be light and charming but never didactic. Much of the credit goes to the casting. Breslin is a bona-fide talent, whether warming our hearts as a bespectacled pageant participant in Little Miss Sunshine or winning our admiration as the plucky Kit, a wannabe reporter. Stanley Tucci, Joan Cusack and Jane Krakowski bring dramatic heft to a tale that could have been paper-thin.
Based on the series of American Girl stories by Valerie Tripp, Kit is resourceful, inquisitive and compassionate. Her sunny childhood takes a sudden turn, compelling her to learn valuable lessons.
