Peter Travers  ABC News:  "Hollywood does gloriously right by Judy Blume’s 1970 bestseller about a pre-teen girl (a stellar Abby Ryder Fortson) in a tug-of-war with puberty and religion. Costars McAdams and Bates exemplify Blume’s refreshing candor. Call it totally irresistible."

Adam Graham  Detroit News:  "Fremon Craig is aiming for hugs, and "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." is a warm embrace to audiences of all ages. Hug it back."

Lindsay Bahr  Associated Press:  "Movies like these barely exist anymore, and certainly not in theaters. Tween girls would do well to seek “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” out. It has all the makings of a classic for the next generation."

Devan Coggan  Entertainment Weekly:  "The film version is an utter delight, a loving adaptation that's both true to the book and endearingly fresh."
