American Girl: Lea to the Rescue

It’s so awesome it’s a great storyline it is so fun like I said in my title I watched it like 1 million times already!

In the years past, I have always valued the American Girl movies and the life lessons my daughters learned from them. However all that changed upon watching this newest movie. I was shocked and appalled at the terrible messages it portrayed. Lea, the main character is quite frankly a spoiled brat. She continually disrespects and disobeys all of the authoritative figures in her life. This goes against everything the American Girl company strives to teach the next generation. Don’t make the same mistake I did in watching this movie.

This movie is super depressing and dramatic,but its good i guess...

I came into the film hoping for more. The ploy was fine as American Girl movies go. I was able to get pass the acting, but not the cultural tropes. 1st: Outside of the opening shots, this is not Brazil. When Aki showed up speaking 1950's broken english and wearing a snake aroud her neck, I was like "huh"? Then they head back to her village to see the natives , who clearly look like Indian.. yes, the South Asian kind, I felt so disappointed. I have an issue with natives being such a throw away that anyone dark skinned will do. I wanted to like this cute little film, but left feeling insulted culturally. Why no just say the country is South Africa - it's clearly not Brazil. Nough respect to the actresses; not their fault that the Producer took advantage of them.

This is a great movie about a girl who loves her brother and will let nothing stop her when the adults don’t seem to care. Great story, acting, and on location scenery.

I am a 9 year old girl and this movie scared me to death.i love the doll and the books but I do not reacamend watching this movie

This is the worst American Girl movie I have ever watched. I couldn't stand to watch it all. I watched like fifth minutes. It is so pathetic.

I don't recommend letting your child see this movie she is very bratty and rude. Please stay away

This movie is good, but it involves bad guys, Lea is VERY rude to her parents and Paula, and She does not listen to anyone, so this movie may not be good for children under 8...

I have not liked an American Girl movie yet. They were always so pukie!! This movie is SO good. Well acted, except the mom, well written, and fun! I have watched it many times with my girls and enjoy it every time!
