Amazon.com:
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 : - ok movie
ok for starters, the acting is not bad and I actually like how the scenes were shot, but I had some trouble with the plot/actions; girl likes to spy and write things down; she loses her notebook and her friends read all about themselves; she doesn't apologize to them; they are mean to her and she is mean right back; she doesn't explain any of this to her parents even when she gets brought home by a cop; finally at the end she does apologize and she gets her 2 best friends back; so as I wacthed this with my 7 and 9 yo I had to stop and ask them what she should have done; I will say it is better than the book as it takes even longer to have her finally do the right thing, but even then in the book she doesn't go up to her best friends and say she is sorry face to face
