Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
In theaters April 28, 2023
Cast: Rachel McAdams, Abby Ryder Fortson, Kathy Bates, Benny Safdie
What It’s About: After her family moves from a big city to peaceful suburbs, young Margaret begins to question everything about her life as she searches for her identity in a funny, heartfelt adaptation of Judy Blume's classic novel.
Did You Know? First published in 1970, the now-iconic book became an instant bookseller and has never been out of print. Author Judy Blume resisted many previous offers to adapt her novel before she saw and loved coming-of-age tale The Edge of Seventeen, directed by Kelly Fremon Craig and produced by James L. Brooks. She finally sold the rights to them.
What To Watch Beforehand: See the movie that inspired Judy Blume: The Edge of Seventeen. Watch Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates in the romantic comedy Midnight in Paris. Enjoy Abby Ryder Fortson in a key supporting role in Ant-Man and the Wasp.
