Harriet the Spy

I'll be honest: I went into this movie in love, and I left it the same way... and maybe a little teary. This movie rocks; the book is even better? Everyone always says that like they're some kind of literary historian but I personally don't remember Gully rockin' out so hard in the book version, and I don't remember Harriet and her two best friends Sport and Janie Gibbs wearing a constant palette of solid primary colors. And I don't remember all of the awesome music, and I don't remember the fish-eye lens. I do remember reading that book 6 times in one year, however, so I SHOULD KNOW WHETHER THE BOOK IS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE... but I don't. Can't we all just get along? Who cares!

Either way, watch this movie is you're an independent woman with a lot to say, and no one to answer to but yourself. Or if you want to be that way. Because Harriet, an 11-year-old with a heart of malleable steel, can help you. 

Trivia Alert! "Harriet the Spy" the book was banned in the 60s because apparently Harriet provided too spunky of an example... aka she was too much of a lesbo. So there's your cake.
