Who else immediately started chanting “We must! We must! We must increase our bust!” as soon as the trailer started. I’m crying…this is so much my younger years. I was a bookworm who spent my Summers reading. I must have read this a dozen times along with her others. I’ll be there day one!!
This looks *perfect.* The actress play Margaret is everything we could have hoped for, the movie has kept the 70s time setting, and the producers even got the rights to the "official" Judy Blume cover font. I can't wait!
Oh my Lord I am so excited about this! With a new Matilda musical coming out, I was thinking today like yeah sure roald Dahl is cool but where are some Judy blume movies damn it?! So I got so excited I was kind of silently cheering and welled up with tears just a bit lol Also, I'm an artist and designer now and love that you noticed and gave us some facts about this whole getting the rights to the official Judy Bloom cover font... Love love love love love
Holy cow.. I remember reading this when I was 13 … this should be a must to every preteen girl. It helped me not feel so strange about my self and to realize I wasn’t the only one going to rough these thoughts and feelings. I ended up having all boys so I have no one to share this great book or movie with . But I will see it anyway just to stroll down memory lane.
My gosh I was 9! 😂By 13, my friends and I were sneaking my mom’s historical romances from the bathroom cupboard, lol. And recently I have been able to exchange comments with the writer of the first book we snitched. She says a lot of people tell her that they were taking their mother’s books.
Loved this book. Read when I was 9. My school librarian calledy mom to make sure I could check it out. My mom of course said yes. Later, I got to meet the author at my local library and my mo m took me. Books and reading were so important to me and I grew up to become a librarian. This touches my heart so much. Can't wait.
I know how great that is, I became a Children's Librarian and one my highlights of my career was meeting Judy Blume at the Key West Literary Fest and yes we do rock🎸
You would be surprised, the Libraries I worked at in Broward County Florida were always packed and we put on huge reading festivals for the families. It was a great job
Rachel McAdams is such a comforting & iconic presence to an entire generation of girls who are now women. I can’t wait for this. I cried at this trailer alone. Using George Harrison’s “What Is Life” is perfection.
It is so great being Gen X because media and movies are geared towards this generation and our kids. Most of us devoured the Judy Blume books as kids. We loved reading. Brings back soooo many memories. And at the time, ‘Forever’ by JB was like the most adult book imaginable for kids our age. You had to hide it if you got a copy somewhere. I hope they make ‘Blubber’ into a movie also. There were so many great ones. ‘Tiger Eyes’, which was so deep. Fudge. Superfudge. OMG. I feel like I’m in 4th grade again.
Exactly. Feel like every comment should reference what year we read Judy Blume (because who didn’t read ALL her books after AYTG…?) in support of this exact feeling. For me, it was 1983. It was a natural progression to read these after my mom forced me through the What’s Happening To Me? books and birds and bees talk. Junior High health classes were a breeze after that!
I recall reading this novel as an 11 year old in 1974. It caused quite a stir as many parents felt it was too graphic. My how times have changed!! I believe I have read all of her books. She has a wonderful understanding of pre-teen and teen kids.
I think there’s still a lot of people that think this is way too graphic. I mean, just look at how Disney’s Turning Red got a lot of criticism for talking about periods in the movie. It’s about time this stuff was normalized and we stop treating natural bodily functions like they’re something to be ashamed of
Oh I'm literally sobbing with joy! This book was my life as a chubby, plain girl, in the fifth grade. The year was 1980 and I was as much a misfit as they come. I must've read this book over a dozen times!
@@mkkp1308 I think so too! I'm beyond excited. I remember always thinking what a great movie this would make. Especially after seeing the movie "Now and Then" in the mid nineties. ☺️
I'm so glad the movie is set in the same time period as the book, and they didn't attempt to "modernize" the story. I will never forget reading this book as a child. I adored Judy Blume. She was the only author I knew of back then writing stories that felt honest and relatable for tweens/adolescents. Can't wait for this movie! And so excited about this cast!
As 32 yr old woman, this book wasn't part of my childhood/adolescence, but I have definitely been enjoying reading all the comments from the women on here who grew up in the 70s/80s. Hope this movie lives up to your expectations!
I'm 29 and I read it back in the day, they did change some things to make it make more sense for modern readers in the 90s but her books were still popular even then, they had references to a lot of 70s things like menstrual belts.
I'm 33 and I have very fond memories of reading this book as a sixth grader. I mean, my friends and I poked fun at parts of it, but it was very relateable.
@@kittymcmeowmeow1 so versatile she is a great actress everyone either knows her as Allie on the notebook or Regina George on mean girls and before then she played a mean girl as well with Rob Schneider 😂
My mouth dropped! I didn't know they were making this into a movie. I was recently going on and on about how I loved it to someone so this is great timing. Hope it lives up to the book
I was explaining this book to my husband a few weeks ago. I had no idea a movie is about to come out. It's been 18 years since I last read it and I still remember the way all those Judy Bloom books made me feel when I was a child
Judy Blume was a great highlight of my former Day School's library: Tales of a 4th grade nothing, Blubber, Otherwise known as Sheila the Great, Superfudge, and of course Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret were just delightful books. This preview feels like someone breathed life into the pages. About darn time.
The Fudge series was so essential to my elementary school childhood! I'll be 36 in March and one of my favorite parts of 4th grade was story time after lunch! My teacher (Mrs. Rich!) loved reading Judy Blume books to us. Unfortunately, I never read Are You There, God? because my family is Buddhist and I had assumed that I wouldn't be able to relate to this book since we didn't believe in God. If I had known what the plot of the book was, I probably would've given it a try! Watching this trailer brought tears to my eyes because it seems like no matter how old I get, reliving the awkwardness of puberty will never not be relatable. At least now I get to laugh about it!
Oh the nostalgia! I read this book when I was 11 or 12 and had always planned to pass it on to my own daughter. I only have sons though (ages 14 & 12) so I honestly forgot all about this book. Judy Blume books are so special; insightful, funny, entertaining and extremely relatable. I’m so excited to see the cast, Rachel McAdams can do no wrong and Kathy Bates is one of my absolute favorite actors. Can’t wait!
I think you should pass it on to your boys. My 30 year old son asked for a lesson in periods so he could better understand what we go through. He spaced out during those classes in school, lol.
It’s so nice to see “normal” kids in a film and not 12 year olds dressed like they’re 21 year old Tiktok influencers. It reminds me of the film Now & Then from the 90s
This brought a tear to my eye even just seeing the thumbnail, to know one of my favourite childhood books has been made into a movie! Judy Blume was an author who at the time just seemed to understand what was on a young girl’s mind.. her books were a sort of self development therapy for me before I was even aware of it.
Watching the trailer brought back so many memories. I am middle aged and the book was, and has been a God send to so many insecure, and confused teens. Thank you Judy Blume for helping us through this awkward stage of growing up.
I remember being obsessed with the Judy Blume books in elementary school. Brings back some good memories. This trailer looks really promising. Can't wait to see the movie!
Judy Blume saved my life! how she was so brilliant & intuitive is a mystery. she was, somehow, deeply IN OUR MINDS, her writing, amazing in an almost other-worldy way..and her books should be 'required reading' for every pre-teen & teenager in the world..thank you so much, Ms. Blume!💛💖🌿🕊🌷🧚🏾♀
When I was 11 or 12 , our class took a trip to the library so that we could all get library cards and take out our very first book. I was having a hard time picking out a book and my teacher Mrs Brody gave me that book to read. I LOVED IT!! I’m a huge fan of Judy Blume books! Since that day I enjoyed reading! Thank you Mrs Brody wherever you are ❤
I can't believe it. I loved this book soooo much when I was a kid. I can't believe they made a movie about it. I'm just getting all the feels right now. Why do I want to turn the clock back?
This book was everything to me when I was around 11 years old. It got me through some rough times when I felt like no-one else in the world understood what I was going through. So excited to see the movie ❤
I’m absolutely thrilled! I carried this book around with me in either my backpack or my purse for such a long time! It was my comfort book. I was born in ‘84 and read this book when I was 11 or 12 so it was the mid-90’s. Some of it was different (the way they used belts for pads and such) but most of it rang so impossibly true. I can’t wait to dive back into this book as I eagerly and impatiently wait for this movie to come out. 💜
I was born in 1968 and read this in the 70s. I think the way parenting was done wiht puberty stuf is that your parents gave you a BOOK... "HERE read this book" or had it lying around so you would just find it... I had 2 other ilustrated books on Reproduction and andother on Puberty called "Whats happening to me" LOL.. JUst ended up in the house and I read them.
@@caeligood6607 Yeah. Any time I asked a question I got yelled at if I did my school work I would learn in science any answers to questions I had. I was never THAT interested! So I ended up an old maid, nothing to do with men.
WHY did seeing this trailer give me the goosebumps and bring immediate tears to my eyes??! I remember reading this book as a young girl definitely pre-teenage hood. It was my first or second chapter book that I read and here I am in my 30's with a daughter of my own! I cannot WAIT to see this!!!!
Read this for the first time when I was 11, so I was exactly Margaret’s age. Granted, I was 11 in the early 2000’s so a lot of things were different, but despite that I related to Margaret so much. I must have read this book at least 100 times. My all time favorite. I was so excited when I found out they were finally making it into a movie. I’ll be seeing this on opening day for sure.
It reminds me of the wonder years in that respect.. Very clever straddles two generations . The parents who were there and the kids craving nostalgia today
I read the book when I was 11 in the 80s (and some of the stuff in the book, like period belts, were already dated and not a thing by then), so it makes me smile to know that pre-teens were still reading it at least thru the early 2000s.
My first book was when I was 11 years old recall it was Peter and fudge…I was a lazy kid academic wise but reading her books sparked my interest to read. I am 32 years old now and I didn’t know this book was around since the 70/8wow!!! Crazy thank u! Judy Blume 🎉
Judy Blume’s so skilled at capturing tween angst. And I’m very thankful she took on the tough topics of female puberty & growing pains in such a thoughtful, gentle way in a time when it wasn’t addressed well. Reading this book was a right of passage for my friends & me back in the early 80s. I am so looking forward to seeing this movie.
Kathy Bates is a revelation, isn’t she? She has battled cancer on and off for the last decade and still manages to put out amazing work through it all. What an inspiration she has been. And Rachel, well, we all love Rachel.
Wow! This book helped me so much. Judy Blume books were my Bible as a kid. I remember my friends and I doing bust excercises and chanting "We must we must..." at lunchtime, crazy but good times.
I remember reading this book w/my mom, for school. Had to read w/a parent at night. When I read it on my own afterwards, it was so strange. This book is my childhood. I think of it, "are you still there, God?" Truly one of the best.
I read this book like three or four times before I knew what a period was and would think 'what are they talking about?' One day, holding the book, I went into the dining room and flat out asked "What's a period?" My mom - and Aunt - and two Uncles all sat there looking at me silently. My mom said "We'll talk later". Haha - Judy Blume books were my youth! I loved 'Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing' and 'Iggies House.'
Oh God, I remember reading the book when I was 9 and asking my mom about the belts that they used in the book for the pads. Turns out I wouldn't need the info in the book for quite a few more years (not to mention stuff like the belts was outdated), but I still appreciate my mother going so far as to buy the book and place it where I could read it before "the talk". She never had a talk like that when she was a young girl so she wasn't sure what to say, so her answering questions that I had after I read the novel was very helpful for both of us. Definitely looking forward to this one with the other ladies in my family!
From the trailer, it looks exactly as I imagined it when I read the book, from the neighborhood to Margaret. Judy Blume's books changed my life and taught me so much! I read them all, loved them all, and am SO excited to see this movie! I'm feeling nostalgic already!!
Wow. I was in the 7th grade back in 1978 when I read this book. My friends were passing it around for each of us to read. For real? I feel like it’s missed its time, but then again it might just be what we need today to remind us about our common experience growing up as women.
My grandmother, who was a librarian, made my mother read this book in the 70s and when I was 12, my mother, who had also become a librarian, required me to read it. I loved it! It started me down the Judy Blume rabbit hole of books and I was obsessed. Both my grandmother and mother have since passed and it’s bittersweet because I would’ve loved the full circle moment of us watching this together with my future daughter. I will definitely be watching in full blown nostalgia.
My Mom has also passed on and I would have loved to have seen this with her as she heard me talk so much about Judy Blume and this book in particular, but she never read any of these books. I know our moms will be there with us in spirit!
OMG! I wish I could go back to 1992 and share this with younger me. I loved this book and read everything from Judy Blume as a result. This and Then Again Maybe I Won’t were my favs.
This looks so good! Now I’m going to have to read the book. I wish Disney and Nickelodeon would approach childhood in a more realistic manner, maybe not to this extreme but somewhere in this ballpark.
They use too back in the 90s snd 200s now disney has dumped themselves down alot the only descent show is Racens Home now unless you watch Disney XD or Disney plus for more mature content it's sad... really ...
I'm guessing you never grew up with Splat-era Nickelodeon? Now those were the days! So many of those shows were so relatable and taught valuable life lessons. Then Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel became popular and Nick unfortunately decided to take a page from Disney's book with shows that were more about "how to be popular" than "to thine own self be true." Luckily, Nick has started to make a decent comeback within the last decade with things like the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie and the Rugrats reboot.
¡Luce genial! Las películas adaptadas a los años 70 u 80 son las mejores para mí☺. Una de las razones más grandes para ver esta película es Rachel McAdams☺
I LOVED this book as preteen…It was everything that I couldn’t talk about at home and it answered so many questions that I had exploring as my 13 year old self…Can’t wait to see this movie and wish I’d kept the book actually. It felt so scandalous reading this at the time, and it was an exciting time for young girls…Normalizing our feelings completely
I feel like we're building to Rachel McAdams' career apex. She came out strong with mean girls, the notebook, and wedding crashers. And she's been killing it since spotlight.
Everything you need to know about being a teenage girl is in this book. This was my guidebook back in the early 80s. Love that this is finally getting the movie it deserved 20 years ago! 💖
This was the one book my mother ever recommended to me and I loved it. She passed away several years ago now but seeing this trailer made me wish I could see this movie with her.
As a guy who read a couple of Judy Blume’s books growing up, except this one, I am looking forward to this! Great cast and I love that look of the film staying set in the late 1970’s than updating it to today though the message is timeless for young women.
OMG!!! As a kid, I LOVED Judy Blume books. I'm so glad this is going to be on screen soon & I LOVE how Rachel McAdams is going to be in it!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 A trip down memory lane omgggg
Omg!!! I can’t believe this!!! I’m so excited & I can’t wait to see it! This was & still is my favorite Judy Blume book and never thought that they would make it into a movie 🤗
Oh my gosh when my sisters and I were kids we would do the "we must, we must, we must increase our bust the bigger the better the tighter the sweater, the men depend on us" exercises. 😂😂😂 Good memories! I loved this book when I was a kid!
Did they help LOL…..well, I jus couldn’t resist, lmao!!! I was in the gen too, oh for the love of the ‘70’s….and plz do tell me-where that hell did 50 yrs go ??!! ❤️ 😱👎😛🌀😊🙏🌞❤️❗️
@@HeartWorX.Creations Not the 70's. We were doing it as kids in the late 90's 😂. But I can't believe that was 25 years ago. It's crazy how fast time goes.
@@HeartWorX.Creations Yes! I read it when I was 11-12 probably right around the year 2000, but my older sister taught me and our younger sister that song and the exercise before I ever read it. Probably not the most appropriate song to teach young girls, but we thought it was funny lol. So I don't know if she just heard the song from someone else or if she actually read the book. I'll have to ask her. She's not a big reader, so I wouldn't be surprised if the song was making the rounds without people realizing where it originally came from
My grandma recommended this book to me when i was about 11 or 12 and i didn't think anything of it but I read it and I never regretted it. It guided me through my 6th grade years and made me fall in love with judy blume books
I have heard of this book but never read it. I saw Judy Blume on the Today Show talking about this movie. I wish I had this when I was younger, it would've definitely helped out.
OMG!! My mother gave me this book as a pre- teen it was everything and years ago I got it for my oldest daughter when she came into her teen years🤗 I can't wait to go see this! I'm definitely going to have to read it again before the movie comes out! Excited about this one!
Omg!!! I read all of Judy Blume's books back in 7th Grade when I switched to a school that had all of her books in the school library. I was a little bookworm back then and would often bring 5 or 6 books home for the weekend and read them all within a few days. I am so happy that they kept the original time period of the book for the movie and didn't attempt to modernize it. It will surely be a trip down memory lane for me as I read that book in the 80s. Fyi, Judy Blume also wrote some adult books. I really enjoyed "Summer Sisters," which I read in my 20s. That one made me cry. And side note, the "I must increase my bust" routine apparently worked for me. 😄
This book was everything at 12 I love love this book it was great because it was like finally someone gets me I can relate even when I was embarrassed to talk about some things this book helps I'm glad it's a movie now hopefully they did right by the book
If Rachel Mcadams and Kathy Bates are in a movie, its enough reason for me to watch it.
SAMEEE
I mean, same here.
I've seen an amazing cast of actors do flop movies also.
Same.
I was sooo excited that Kathy Bates was playing the Grandma! Rachel McAdams is just cool.
Who else immediately started chanting “We must! We must! We must increase our bust!” as soon as the trailer started. I’m crying…this is so much my younger years. I was a bookworm who spent my Summers reading. I must have read this a dozen times along with her others. I’ll be there day one!!
🙋
Same girl, same! 🥰
I am a guy, but I read this book and all of Judy Blume’s books!! I am more than thrilled to finally see this happen?!!!❤🙏
ME TOO!!! 🥰🤩
Same!🥰🙋🏻♀️
This was an iconic, coming-of-age book back in my younger days. If the trailer is anything to go by, they are doing it justice.
Director and writer James Brooks? Oh yea, it'll be very good!
LIAR
I guess for older people of a different background than many of us
👏👏👏
I will have to reread the book BUT they updated the book..

Isnt she the child actress from the 'Forever my girl' movie? I loved that movie.
She's the actress that played Cassie in the Antman movies. So happy she's continued to act.
The font!!!! The decade!!! I’m so happy!!!
What do you mean official cover? There's a lot of covers , my copy had painted nales as the cover ,Which one is the official cover ?
Holy cow.. I remember reading this when I was 13 … this should be a must to every preteen girl.

Read it, please. The book is always better. Judy Blume is phenomenal!! Other greats: Tales of a 4th grade nothing, and Blubber
Books don’t have a age requirement, even now, you should read it😊
I love how the movie kept the detail about Margaret buying the "Teenage Softies" brand of menstrual pads
My mouth dropped! I didn't know they were making this into a movie. I was recently going on and on about how I loved it to someone so this is great timing. Hope it lives up to the book
same

It's Me, Margaret were just delightful books. This preview feels like someone breathed life into the pages. About darn time.
Omg those were the best books and the best times…
I loved and read every book she wrote! Just awesome author that totally related!
Sure I remember a TV series based on Suprerfudge in the '90s.
Forever is good too.
The Fudge series was so essential to my elementary school childhood! I'll be 36 in March and one of my favorite parts of 4th grade was story time after lunch! My teacher (Mrs. Rich!) loved reading Judy Blume books to us. Unfortunately, I never read Are You There, God? because my family is Buddhist and I had assumed that I wouldn't be able to relate to this book since we didn't believe in God. If I had known what the plot of the book was, I probably would've given it a try! Watching this trailer brought tears to my eyes because it seems like no matter how old I get, reliving the awkwardness of puberty will never not be relatable. At least now I get to laugh about it!
I know, right! How is this book only being made after I already have gray hair? Took too long.
Oh the nostalgia! I read this book when I was 11 or 12 and had always planned to pass it on to my own daughter. I only have sons though (ages 14 & 12) so I honestly forgot all about this book. Judy Blume books are so special; insightful, funny, entertaining and extremely relatable. I’m so excited to see the cast, Rachel McAdams can do no wrong and Kathy Bates is one of my absolute favorite actors. Can’t wait!
I think you should pass it on to your boys. My 30 year old son asked for a lesson in periods so he could better understand what we go through. He spaced out during those classes in school, lol.
incredible to think how long it took for such an iconic book to finally become a movie!
It’s so nice to see “normal” kids in a film and not 12 year olds dressed like they’re 21 year old Tiktok influencers. It reminds me of the film Now & Then from the 90s
It’s actually nice that they do that they were preserving kids
This is so true!! Or when they have grown adults play kids. It never feels right
You’re right thank you I rather have children see this!
We need more normal glad to see them deliver...
@roxy ortiz The joke is on you, these actors are actual preteens. 🤦♂️
This brought a tear to my eye even just seeing the thumbnail, to know one of my favourite childhood books has been made into a movie! Judy Blume was an author who at the time just seemed to understand what was on a young girl’s mind.. her books were a sort of self development therapy for me before I was even aware of it.
This book came out in the early 70s and I read it as a kid in the 90s, so happy to see a movie.
My mom gave me this book at age 12 and it definitely helped me understand my ‘changing body’ and all the awkwardness that comes with it
Watching the trailer brought back so many memories. I am middle aged and the book was, and has been a God send to so many insecure, and confused teens. Thank you Judy Blume for helping us through this awkward stage of growing up.
I remember being obsessed with the Judy Blume books in elementary school. Brings back some good memories. This trailer looks really promising. Can't wait to see the movie!
Reading this book as a child and now watching the trailer is an unbelievable feeling ❤
Judy Blume saved my life! how she was so brilliant & intuitive is a mystery. she was, somehow, deeply IN OUR MINDS, her writing, amazing in an almost other-worldy way..and her books should be 'required reading' for every pre-teen & teenager in the world..thank you so much, Ms. Blume!💛💖🌿🕊🌷🧚🏾♀
When I was 11 or 12 , our class took a trip to the library so that we could all get library cards and take out our very first book. I was having a hard time picking out a book and my teacher Mrs Brody gave me that book to read. I LOVED IT!! I’m a huge fan of Judy Blume books! Since that day I enjoyed reading! Thank you Mrs Brody wherever you are ❤
I can't believe it. I loved this book soooo much when I was a kid. I can't believe they made a movie about it. I'm just getting all the feels right now. Why do I want to turn the clock back?
Omg the “we must increase our bust” scene has haunted me since adolescence 😂
I was waiting for that part! 🤣😂 I just knew they couldn't leave that out of the trailer
Me too! I am guilty of even trying it XD
My friends and I would do it, and then fall down laugh-screaming😂😂😂
Not me getting teary eyed remembering how much I loved this book. Omg.
Wow. Same! Devoured every Judy Blume book as a kid.
oh wow. So teary eyed. I'm laughing crying. So excited!!
oh you're not the only one!
This book was everything to me when I was around 11 years old. It got me through some rough times when I felt like no-one else in the world understood what I was going through. So excited to see the movie ❤
I’m absolutely thrilled! I carried this book around with me in either my backpack or my purse for such a long time! It was my comfort book. I was born in ‘84 and read this book when I was 11 or 12 so it was the mid-90’s. Some of it was different (the way they used belts for pads and such) but most of it rang so impossibly true. I can’t wait to dive back into this book as I eagerly and impatiently wait for this movie to come out. 💜
Planning on rereading her books as well.
I was born in 1968 and read this in the 70s. I think the way parenting was done wiht puberty stuf is that your parents gave you a BOOK... "HERE read this book" or had it lying around so you would just find it... I had 2 other ilustrated books on Reproduction and andother on Puberty called "Whats happening to me" LOL.. JUst ended up in the house and I read them.
@@caeligood6607 Yeah. Any time I asked a question I got yelled at if I did my school work I would learn in science any answers to questions I had. I was never THAT interested! So I ended up an old maid, nothing to do with men.
This is what happens when you get a cast in front of, & behind, the scenes that loves a book as much as we do ❤
This book changed my life when I was coming into my teen years. Excited to see it!
WHY did seeing this trailer give me the goosebumps and bring immediate tears to my eyes??! I remember reading this book as a young girl definitely pre-teenage hood. It was my first or second chapter book that I read and here I am in my 30's with a daughter of my own! I cannot WAIT to see this!!!!
My mind is blown, I remember hearing about this book when I was 7 years old back in 1983, and it's just NOW becoming a movie? The nostalgia...
Read this for the first time when I was 11, so I was exactly Margaret’s age. Granted, I was 11 in the early 2000’s so a lot of things were different, but despite that I related to Margaret so much. I must have read this book at least 100 times. My all time favorite. I was so excited when I found out they were finally making it into a movie. I’ll be seeing this on opening day for sure.
Lol it was so relatable in 1973! ❤️ read All her books!
It reminds me of the wonder years in that respect.. Very clever straddles two generations . The parents who were there and the kids craving nostalgia today
I was born in 1991, so you're around my age. I definitely loved and related to this book when I was in middle school.
I read the book when I was 11 in the 80s (and some of the stuff in the book, like period belts, were already dated and not a thing by then), so it makes me smile to know that pre-teens were still reading it at least thru the early 2000s.
@katy k I loved the Wonder Years and the reboot is also fantastic.
One of my favourite books, and the trailer is set to one of my favourite songs. Can't wait to see it!
This makes me so happy! My absolute favorite book as a tween, the only book I read more than once :)
My first book was when I was 11 years old recall it was Peter and fudge…I was a lazy kid academic wise but reading her books sparked my interest to read. I am 32 years old now and I didn’t know this book was around since the 70/8wow!!! Crazy thank u! Judy Blume 🎉
Judy Blume’s so skilled at capturing tween angst. And I’m very thankful she took on the tough topics of female puberty & growing pains in such a thoughtful, gentle way in a time when it wasn’t addressed well. Reading this book was a right of passage for my friends & me back in the early 80s. I am so looking forward to seeing this movie.
OMGOSH! I haven't even pressed play and I'm tearing up! LOVED THIS BOOK
Kathy Bates is a revelation, isn’t she? She has battled cancer on and off for the last decade and still manages to put out amazing work through it all. What an inspiration she has been. And Rachel, well, we all love Rachel.
Aww thanks so much. I love you all too 🥰
@@rachelperera7772 😂 ❤️
Wow! This book helped me so much. Judy Blume books were my Bible as a kid. I remember my friends and I doing bust excercises and chanting "We must we must..." at lunchtime, crazy but good times.
I remember reading this book w/my mom, for school. Had to read w/a parent at night. When I read it on my own afterwards, it was so strange. This book is my childhood. I think of it, "are you still there, God?" Truly one of the best.
I read this book like three or four times before I knew what a period was and would think 'what are they talking about?' One day, holding the book, I went into the dining room and flat out asked "What's a period?" My mom - and Aunt - and two Uncles all sat there looking at me silently. My mom said "We'll talk later". Haha - Judy Blume books were my youth! I loved 'Tales of the Fourth Grade Nothing' and 'Iggies House.'
Yay! This looks so good. The actress playing Margaret is great and how could you not love Rachel and Kathy?! I can't wait for this.
I read this book when I was 11 in 2010 and in grade 6.We had a big Library at my school and I used to love those books.
Oh God, I remember reading the book when I was 9 and asking my mom about the belts that they used in the book for the pads. Turns out I wouldn't need the info in the book for quite a few more years (not to mention stuff like the belts was outdated), but I still appreciate my mother going so far as to buy the book and place it where I could read it before "the talk". She never had a talk like that when she was a young girl so she wasn't sure what to say, so her answering questions that I had after I read the novel was very helpful for both of us. Definitely looking forward to this one with the other ladies in my family!
From the trailer, it looks exactly as I imagined it when I read the book, from the neighborhood to Margaret. Judy Blume's books changed my life and taught me so much! I read them all, loved them all, and am SO excited to see this movie! I'm feeling nostalgic already!!
These is the first movie i will see again Rachel McAdams after Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness and looks so fun to watch.
Not to mention that the girl playing Margaret played Cassie Lang in Ant-Man
Yes
@@ravinialee269 Holy 💩, I just realized that was Cassie before Endgame. Goddamn look how big she’s grown.
Wow. I was in the 7th grade back in 1978 when I read this book. My friends were passing it around for each of us to read. For real? I feel like it’s missed its time, but then again it might just be what we need today to remind us about our common experience growing up as women.
My grandmother, who was a librarian, made my mother read this book in the 70s and when I was 12, my mother, who had also become a librarian, required me to read it. I loved it! It started me down the Judy Blume rabbit hole of books and I was obsessed. Both my grandmother and mother have since passed and it’s bittersweet because I would’ve loved the full circle moment of us watching this together with my future daughter. I will definitely be watching in full blown nostalgia.
My Mom has also passed on and I would have loved to have seen this with her as she heard me talk so much about Judy Blume and this book in particular, but she never read any of these books. I know our moms will be there with us in spirit!
I read this in '78! Such a great book. I'm really excited about the movie!
I remember always wanting a series for Here's to you Rachel Robinson and it never ocurred to me AYTGIMM would make such a great movie! Can't wait!!
Oh my gosh! I can’t wait for this film to come out! I loved this book when I was in the 6th grade. It taught me everything about womanhood. 😂
OMG! I wish I could go back to 1992 and share this with younger me. I loved this book and read everything from Judy Blume as a result. This and Then Again Maybe I Won’t were my favs.
This looks so good! Now I’m going to have to read the book. I wish Disney and Nickelodeon would approach childhood in a more realistic manner, maybe not to this extreme but somewhere in this ballpark.
They use too back in the 90s snd 200s now disney has dumped themselves down alot the only descent show is Racens Home now unless you watch Disney XD or Disney plus for more mature content it's sad... really ...
I'm guessing you never grew up with Splat-era Nickelodeon? Now those were the days! So many of those shows were so relatable and taught valuable life lessons. Then Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel became popular and Nick unfortunately decided to take a page from Disney's book with shows that were more about "how to be popular" than "to thine own self be true." Luckily, Nick has started to make a decent comeback within the last decade with things like the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie and the Rugrats reboot.
OMG. My teenage book has come to life! I'm so glad they kept it in the right era!!! And Kathy Bates! OMG can't wait!
This book literally inspired me to become a writer. Can't believe it has finally been turned into a film
This was my first pre adolescent book I loved it. Now I over 50 and it's a movie I gonna see this interesting
¡Luce genial! Las películas adaptadas a los años 70 u 80 son las mejores para mí☺. Una de las razones más grandes para ver esta película es Rachel McAdams☺
SO many memories of reading this book over 45 years ago ! "We must, we must... we must increase our bust."- have never forgotten that !! 😂
I LOVED this book as preteen…It was everything that I couldn’t talk about at home and it answered so many questions that I had exploring as my 13 year old self…Can’t wait to see this movie and wish I’d kept the book actually. It felt so scandalous reading this at the time, and it was an exciting time for young girls…Normalizing our feelings completely
The world needs this cinematic genre back!!! The good old 90s-early 20s-esque coming of age romcoms starring Rachel McAdams... I'm HEALING 🙌🙌🙌🙌💖✨
I feel like we're building to Rachel McAdams' career apex. She came out strong with mean girls, the notebook, and wedding crashers. And she's been killing it since spotlight.
I loved this book as a preteen, and I'm so happy they finally made it into a movie. Can't wait!
Everything you need to know about being a teenage girl is in this book. This was my guidebook back in the early 80s. Love that this is finally getting the movie it deserved 20 years ago!
💖
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!!! ....I LOVED THIS BOOK GROWING UP!....AND NOW IT'S A MOVIE?? ...GOTTA SEE IT!
Judy Blume is behind the project and has said herself that the movie is better than the book! I'm so ready!!!
This was the one book my mother ever recommended to me and I loved it. She passed away several years ago now but seeing this trailer made me wish I could see this movie with her.
As a guy who read a couple of Judy Blume’s books growing up, except this one, I am looking forward to this! Great cast and I love that look of the film staying set in the late 1970’s than updating it to today though the message is timeless for young women.
OMG!!! As a kid, I LOVED Judy Blume books. I'm so glad this is going to be on screen soon & I LOVE how Rachel McAdams is going to be in it!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 A trip down memory lane omgggg
Omg!!! I can’t believe this!!! I’m so excited & I can’t wait to see it! This was & still is my favorite Judy Blume book and never thought that they would make it into a movie 🤗
Oh my…brings back memories.
Oh my gosh when my sisters and I were kids we would do the "we must, we must, we must increase our bust the bigger the better the tighter the sweater, the men depend on us" exercises. 😂😂😂 Good memories! I loved this book when I was a kid!
Did they help LOL…..well, I jus couldn’t resist, lmao!!!
I was in the gen too, oh for the love of the ‘70’s….and plz do tell me-where that hell did 50 yrs go ??!!
❤️ 😱👎😛🌀😊🙏🌞❤️❗️
@@HeartWorX.Creations Not the 70's. We were doing it as kids in the late 90's 😂. But I can't believe that was 25 years ago. It's crazy how fast time goes.
@@bunny_0288 oh wow, I didn’t realize that book carried over thru the gen’s!!
@@HeartWorX.Creations Yes! I read it when I was 11-12 probably right around the year 2000, but my older sister taught me and our younger sister that song and the exercise before I ever read it. Probably not the most appropriate song to teach young girls, but we thought it was funny lol. So I don't know if she just heard the song from someone else or if she actually read the book. I'll have to ask her. She's not a big reader, so I wouldn't be surprised if the song was making the rounds without people realizing where it originally came from
My favorite book when I was 11 years old! I can’t wait to see this with my daughter when she’s a little older.
❤
Oh man I love the costuming in this movie, feels like some proper authentic pieces
My grandma recommended this book to me when i was about 11 or 12 and i didn't think anything of it but I read it and I never regretted it. It guided me through my 6th grade years and made me fall in love with judy blume books
WE MUST INCREASE OUR BUSTS!" I remember chanting this repeatedly at random moments lol. This looks so cute.
What a blast from the past! I read this book in the fifth grade, the year it was published. It was pretty exciting to read something so different.
I love this book so much! I can’t wait to see this.
I have waited years to see this happen!! Finally!!!! ❤❤🙏🙏
This is actually the first time I want to see a movie after watching a random trailer on RUclips for the first time.
I have read this book in my teens so many times💛. Back then the library was my hangout spot.
I have heard of this book but never read it. I saw Judy Blume on the Today Show talking about this movie. I wish I had this when I was younger, it would've definitely helped out.
This book was banned by so many schools.
OMG!! My mother gave me this book as a pre- teen it was everything and years ago I got it for my oldest daughter when she came into her teen years🤗 I can't wait to go see this! I'm definitely going to have to read it again before the movie comes out! Excited about this one!
One of the best movies of all time 💕
True ✌️
I really like this movie 🥰
Do you know where can I see it? 🥺💞💞💞💞
@@5lives1love 123 movies

OMG! i read this so many times as a kid!
I feel like there’s gonna be a kickass soundtrack.
Omg!!! I read all of Judy Blume's books back in 7th Grade when I switched to a school that had all of her books in the school library. I was a little bookworm back then and would often bring 5 or 6 books home for the weekend and read them all within a few days. I am so happy that they kept the original time period of the book for the movie and didn't attempt to modernize it. It will surely be a trip down memory lane for me as I read that book in the 80s. Fyi, Judy Blume also wrote some adult books. I really enjoyed "Summer Sisters," which I read in my 20s. That one made me cry. And side note, the "I must increase my bust" routine apparently worked for me. 😄
I'll watch anything with Rachel McAdams!
OMG, I was obsessed with this book as a child in the 80s. I can't wait to see this!
I read the absolute COVER off of this book when I was 11 (late 80's). I'm glad they're doing it justice, at least.
This book was everything at 12 I love love this book it was great because it was like finally someone gets me I can relate even when I was embarrassed to talk about some things this book helps I'm glad it's a movie now hopefully they did right by the book
I love Rachel McAdams
