关于此电影

A feisty foster kid's outrageous scheme to be reunited with her birth mother has unintended consequences in The Great Gilly Hopkins, a funny, poignant and inspiring new movie from the creators of Bridge to Terabithia.
Gilly Hopkins has seen more than her share of foster homes. Abandoned by her mother as a baby, Gilly makes it her mission not to need anyone - not her earnest social worker Ellis, her dedicated teacher Miss Harris or her tenaciously sociable classmate Agnes - and certainly not her new foster mother Mamie Trotter. In an effort to escape Trotter's endlessly loving care, Gilly concocts a plan that she believes will bring her mother running to her rescue. But when the ploy blows up in Gilly's face it threatens to ruin the only chance she's ever had to be part of a real family. Based on Katherine Paterson's award-winning novel, The Great Gilly Hopkins is a hilarious, big-hearted and wildly entertaining film for the entire family. 2015 GILLY FILM LLC.

评分和评价

Spoilt, selfish, self-centred, leftist girl meets human who embody actual values and sees what she's actually missing. Doesn't make you hate her any less though. Has the added bonus appearence of the annoyingly 'patronising about politics in public' Meryl Streep. The stars are only for everyone apart from the two characters named above-i.e. the other actors are great but the 'lead' 'character' only elicits a strong urge to slap. Repeatedly.

Enjoyed it, however I'd hardly say it's funny. More like sad and moving. Worth a watch though, it entertains and generally hangs together well.

It's a good movie
