The film stars Joey King, Selena Gomez, Hutch Dano, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Corbett, Bridget Moynahan, Josh Duhamel, Jason Spevack, Sandra Oh, Sierra McCormick, Patti Allan, Lynda Boyd and Aila and Zanti McCubbing. The film's title derives from ''Beezus and Ramona'', the first of Cleary's Ramona books, though the plot is mostly based on the sequels, particularly ''Ramona Forever'' and ''Ramona's World''. The film was theatrically released on July 23, 2010 by Fox 2000 Pictures. ==Plot== The adventurous and creative third grader Ramona Quimby (Joey King) often finds herself in trouble at school and at home, usually with her friend and neighbour, Howie (Jason Spevack). When her father Robert (John Corbett) loses his job and the family falls into severe debt, Ramona tries to find ways to earn money, such as selling "delishus lemonade" and a $20 car wash, which end up backfiring in humourous ways, include embarrassing her older sister, Beatrice (Selena Gomez), in front of Beatrice's childhood friend and crush, the paperboy Henry Huggins (Hutch Dano), especially when Ramona refers to her sister by her family nickname, "Beezus." Meanwhile, Ramona's aunt Bea (Ginnifer Goodwin) comes to visit the family and is one of the few people who accepts Ramona in all her eccentricities. Ramona retires from her money making schemes after accidentally painting the car of Howie's uncle, Hobart. The next day, Ramona's school portrait is ruined when she cracks a raw egg in her hair and when she cries "Ewww" in reaction to the photographer asking her to say "Peas" instead of "Cheese." Ramona's worries increase in music class the following day, when her classmate Susan (Sierra McCormick) reveals how after her own father lost his job, her parents divorced and her father moved to Tacoma. The news makes Ramona vomit and results in Robert picking her up early from school, which makes it difficult for him to attend a sudden job interview. Instead of being angry, Robert decides to spend the rest of his day drawing a mural with Ramona. When Ramona and Beezus attempt to make dinner for their parents, the pan catches fire while Beezus is on the phone with Henry. While the sisters argue, Henry overhears that Beezus loves him. Upset after arguing with Beezus, Ramona goes to feed her cat Picky-Picky, but is devastated to find the cat dead. The girls hold a private funeral for Picky-Picky and become closer and kinder to one another. After Robert found a job but it requires him and his family to move to Oregon, Ramona's parents decide to sell their house. As the family touches up the garden during an open house, Ramona reluctantly helps and accidentally initiates a water fight with the neighbours. The water fight concludes when it winds up flooding the neighbours' backyard and exposing a box that Hobart buried years ago and has been looking for. Hobart reveals the box is full of keepsakes of the relationship he shared with Bea when they were teenagers; in light of their rekindling relationship, he proposes to her. Hesitantly, Bea accepts and the family begin planning the impromptu wedding. Furious that her aunt broke her promise not to get "reeled in," Ramona rushes to her house and seeks solace in the attic. The beams are unable to support her weight and break, leaving Ramona's legs dangling from the roof during the open house. After the open house clears out, Robert scolds Ramona for her lack of maturity. Feeling unwanted, Ramona decides to run away; after seeing Ramona won't change her mind, her mother Dorothy (Bridget Moynahan) helps pack Ramona's suitcase. Struggling with a heavy suitcase, Ramona arrives at a bus stop and opens it to discover her mother made it heavy on purpose so she could not go far and finds a book that Robert would doodle in, which depicts Ramona and her mischievous ways. Her family finds her soon afterward and everyone is happily reunited. At Bea and Hobart's wedding, Ramona saves the day when she finds the wedding ring after Howie drops the ring. During the reception, Beezus and Henry share a kiss and dance together. Robert also thanks Ramona, as her teacher Mrs. Meachum (Sandra Oh) recommended him to the school's board as its new art teacher after she saw the mural that Robert and Ramona made as a project for class; Ramona is delighted with the news as it means the family will not have to move. Before Bea and Hobart leave for their honeymoon in Alaska, Ramona gives her a locket with her school picture and Bea tells Ramona that she's "extraordinary." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramona and Beezus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
