Quotes:

James: Nicole's never been to a real farm before.
[looks at Tara, she nods, trying to smile]
James: So when her mother gets back, we'll meet up, and, uh... we'll take it from there.
Mr. Reedy: Joleen's living the good life, huh? In her magnificent country estate.
James: I didn't say estate.
[Tara looks at Mr. Reedy apprehensively, then her eyes fall back onto her plate]
Mr. Reedy: She still living with that one guy?
[at this Tara goes stiff, staring at her grandfather]
Mr. Reedy: What was his name? You know, the one that knocked her up.
James: [Tara turns her horrified eyes on James, who very slightly shakes his head to her] No.

Great actress(AnnaSophia Robb)

I have to say that I admire AnnaSophia Robb for her talent and I am sure that in the future she will win an Oscar because she is very talented and I can say that I have seen almost all her movies(Because of Winn-Dixie, Spy School, Charlie and the Chocholate Factory, Bridge to Terabithia) so I can't wait to see her newest movie Race to Witch Mountain.and whenever I am sad or having a bad day everything goes away when i see her playing in one of her movies. Good job AnnaSophia and keep it this way because I am sure that everyone will see that you are a great actress because for me you are already the greatest . Marius

P.S. Whatever people are saying keep your head up and never lose your smile:))
