Editorial Review:
A journal is a safe place to record one's innermost thoughts, so imagine Jamie's (Kay Panabaker) horror when her private electronic journal is inadvertently entered in a writing contest and becomes a best-selling book in the Disney Channel Original Movie Read it and Weep. Initial worries about her schoolmates recognizing characters created in their images seem unfounded, but as success and instant fame begin to go to Jamie's head and stress becomes a part of her daily schedule, Jamie's alter-ego "Is" (Danielle Panabaker) becomes increasingly influential, encouraging her to act in disturbing ways that test the bonds of her closest friendships. A slip on a television talk show alerts her classmates to the parallels between themselves and the characters in Jamie's book and suddenly Jamie's newfound fame turns into a cold rebuke that leaves her feeling alone and despised. Can a heartfelt apology and a simple confession of what really transpired salvage Jamie's relationship with her friends and classmates and help her realize the importance of true friendship? Bonus features include a making-of featurette, interviews with sisters Kay and Danielle Panabaker, and the never-before-seen music video "Outside Looking In" by Jordan Pruitt. (Ages 7 to 13) --Tami Horiuchi
This Disney Channel program is based on the book HOW MY PRIVATE PERSONAL JOURNAL BECAME A BESTSELLER by Julia Devillers. The film stars Kay Panabaker as Jamie a 14-year-old girl dealing with more than her fair share of gossip cliques and social frustration at the hands of her school's popular mean crowd. When she writes about these awful experiences in her journal she changes people's names and adds some fictional elements. In the journal she identifies herself as Is a character who despite being popular couldn't care less about her social status. But when Jamie accidentally turns in her journal entries for a school assignment the world takes notice of her writing and Jamie becomes an instant star. Everything goes swimmingly until Is stars to take over Jamie's actual life threatening her friendships and making people question Jamie's character.System Requirements:Running Time: 85 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: G UPC: 786936727586 Manufacturer No: 05374300

Rating: - Not Bad
Well the story had a good plot, nice ending but if they could have done it again they should have picked someone cuter for the part of Marco. And you should give a music video for "I Will be Around" because it is a great song. I personally think that they should have switched "Is" and Jamie around for a little bit of excitement and next time maybe you should put in a little more stars so people would actually want to see it for the stars and not only the movie. Beacause alot of the time I rent movies ... Read More

Read It and Weep (2006) tries to package elements of 1996's "Harriet the Spy" into an episode of "Naturally Sadie" and then throws in the standard "teenage girl's upward social mobility causes her to neglect her best friends". This is one of those movies that give film producer's anxiety attacks about their job security. It not only looks good on paper (the book from which it was adapted is excellent) but it is very well executed. Good songs, Kay Panabaker has an effortless charm and does a slick ... Read More
Rating: - Love it!
The first time I watched this movie, I thought it was so-so, enjoyable, but not something I'd watch over and over again. Then, when I viewed it later, I couldn't believe that I'd ever thought that. I'd almost be inclined to say this is as good as High School Musical.
Jamie's a regular girl with regular friends and a regular life until her journal accidentally is submitted as an assignment and then gets published. Jamie is thrust into the life of being popular, where she has to deal with staying ... Read More
