"Bridge to Terebithia" is rated PG for "some peril"? Umm, does the movie end the same way as the book does? Because ds-almost-7 would be really, really disturbed by the book, and probably just as much by a movie with the same ending ... he tends on the sensitive side, like Kriston's DS4, but I think that's a bit much for most 7/8yos.

I agree with the others, it really does depend on the kid. This could be a problem for any child/parent, not just in grade-skip situations.

I saw the Bridge to Terebithia by myself, and knew nothing of the book. The ending was so shockingly sad - i was bawling! In the beginning of the movie, I thought my DS5 would really like it and I was planning to let him watch it. No way after seeing what happens in the end! Actually - he is NOT sensitive about movies, so he probably would have been fine. But it's so sad! Finally find the greatest friend in the world, and poof! gone.
