"And Remember, Every Movie Ends Happily"

This is how my children comfort one another in the middle of watching Kit Kittredge on DVD. There may be a scary moment in a homeless camp, and a stolen mortgage payment to boot, but rest assured it'll all end well.

Right after that movie time reminder, another girl answered, "Yeah, I know. Isn't that weird?"

It is weird. And glorious. This is why I love the movies.

Not to mention buttered popcorn.

Ah, if only life were as swell and full of happy endings as the movies...

I love the American Girl Movies. When my oldest was 7 and read her first American Girl book she said, "Mom this book makes me want to behave and be a proper girl." From that point on American Girl had my devotion.

Yes, that is the miracle of movies. I have been wishing for my own happy ending these days.
