In this first feature film based on the hugely popular American Girl book series, Abigail Breslin, the Academy Award-nominated star of Little Miss Sunshine, takes on the role of a resourceful young girl whose bravery, compassion and determination help her solve a mystery and save her family's home--Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. Kit's happy childhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, is abruptly interrupted during the United States' Great Depression when her father (Chris O'Donnell--Batman & Robin) loses his business and must leave the city to find work. Kit and her mother (Julia Ormond--Iron Jawed Angels) manage by tending their vegetable garden and taking in boarders. But when a crime spree sweeps Cincinnati, striking even Kit's mother -- and Kit's friends are suspected -- Kit determines to find the culprit but discovers a plot that goes far beyond Cincinnati!

Critics Consensus: Refreshingly sweet and sincere, Kit's doll-and-book-inspired do-good mystery may be geared towards the tween girl but will please audiences of all ages.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Marya E. Gates

[Takes] a story based on an IP (the American Girl dolls, which I confess I know very little about) and [turns] it into a strident socialist manifesto.

This first full-length film inspired by the American Girl doll series may very well become an American classic to delight young children for years to come.

Kittredge may lack the fanfare of its fellow films, but it proves to be an interesting experience that should please its target audience.

Do yourself a favor. Do a favor for the kids you like and love. Take them to see Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. Not just girls you like and love. Boys, too. If you are an adult, you will have a good time.

If you can make it through an ending that's over-the-top sappy, even for a children's film, you'll find a story about a girl who does embody some of the best ideals of American girlhood.
