The iconic book comes to the screen for the first time.
Judy Blumehaslong been wary of Hollywood.
Sure, there have been a few adaptation attempts over the years (e.g.
Rachel McAdams and Abby Ryder Fortson in ‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’.Dana Hawley/Lionsgate
Blume, now 85, has been especially protective of one book in particular.Are You There God?
There, she has to learn to navigate a new school, new friends, and new crushes.
(And, if it’s not too much trouble, she’s also hoping to grow some boobs.
Preferably sooner rather than later.)

But serious stuff aside,Margaretis also brimming with joy.
The result is an endearing portrait of girlhood an adaptation that’s well worth the wait.A-
