Judy Blume, James L. Brooks and Kelly Fremon Craig hash out — and argue over — how they finally came to adapt 'Are Your There God? It's Me, Margaret.'
This touching nonfiction film, featuring interviews with Blume and famous fans such as Lena Dunham and Molly Ringwald, offers a comprehensive look at the beloved author’s enduring popularity.: It’s 1970, but timeless at the same time. I think everybody in every department had that mission.
is the best costumer ever, she’s the GOAT of costuming, and I think that’s an enormously special part of it.: There’s one moment when the girls are sitting outside on the school steps, and Gretchen comes in and she says “I got it,” and they’re all like “What?

That’s not scripted, that’s just those kids in the moment!
While the film adaptation is largely faithful to the novel, Margaret’s mom gets her own storyline now.

Jim, you’ve probably seen this trend develop in the years since you made “Terms of Endearment.” And Judy, you’re riding the adaptation wave with several new movies and shows —: Not really! That’s not really true. “Fudge” has been placed for a long time, and I don’t know what’s going on with “Fudge.
