Genres & Description

Comedy Drama Family

6.4 / 10

A feisty foster kid's outrageous scheme to be reunited with her birth mother has unintended consequences in The Great Gilly Hopkins, an entertaining film for the entire family. Gilly Hopkins (Sophie Nélisse) has seen more than her share of foster homes and has outwitted every family she has lived with. In an effort to escape her new foster mother Maime Trotter's (Kathy Bates) endless loving care, Gilly concocts a plan that she believes will bring her mother running to her rescue. But when the ploy blows up in Gilly's face it threatens to ruin the only chance she's ever had to be part of a real family. Based on the award-winning young-adult novel by Katherine Paterson (Bridge to Terabithia), The Great Gilly Hopkins stars Sophie Nélisse, Kathy Bates, Julia Stiles, Bill Cobbs, Billy Magnussen, with Octavia Spencer and Glenn Close.

TO EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MOVIE RUINING THE BOOK: Just stop. Please just stop. I've seen it. And even though the trailer is crap, I watched it first before looking up the Trailer OR reading the book and honestly it put me on an emotional roller coaster. They only added an extra character, made the social worker a guy and made Courtney Rutherford Hopkins blonde. Big deal. While reading the book I was literally pointing out scenes I saw in the movie and was surprised it was literally almost exact, especially Trotter's speech. Anyway, just don't. - @Sunday, December 25, 2016 2:40 AM

Terrible trailer. As somebody who read the book, I can tell you that this trialer spoils the movie. Seriously, this ats as sort of a plot summary. Yes, the book has been out for ages, but then again I didn't know a thing about it when I read it. Only thign I know is Gilly's name si from Lord of the Rings. - @Sunday, February 21, 2016 1:33 PM
