Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

When her unemployed father (Chris O'Donnell) leaves for Chicago to find work in 1934 after losing his car dealership and her mother (Julia Ormand) begins taking in lodgers, including a comely dance instructor (Jane Krakowski), a homeless neighbor (Glenne Headly) and her son (Zach Mills), a traveling magician (Stanley Tucci), and a mobile librarian (Joan Cusack), to help with expenses in this delightfully charming, feel-good, family oriented film, a tenacious, 10-year-old wannabe reporter (Abigail Breslin) writes stories about the World's Fair, the Great Depression, crime waves, and hobos (Max Theriot, Willow Smith, et al.) that she peddles to a crotchety Cincinnati newspaper editor (Shawn Wallace) in hopes of seeing her articles in print and earning one penny a word.
