“Are You There God?” by Judy Blume is a young adult book. It’s Me, Margaret” contains enough pre-teen drama in less than 200 pages to produce a captivating movie, but a few screenplay modifications give the supporting cast members more personality.
More than 50 years after its release, Blume’s 1970 tween primer, which follows sixth-grader Margaret Simon as she navigates puberty and religion, is adapted for the big screen in Kelly Fremon Craig’s film.
Movies made from novels frequently deviate from the original text, but in ‘Margaret’, Blume’s words are brought to life with a few small changes.
