Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents the continuation of summer fun and thrill points as
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer, the irresistible family comedy based on the best-selling book series, arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on October 11th. The first film adaptation of the beloved children's book series, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer, by Megan McDonald with illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds, is a laugh-out-loud hilarious treat for adventure-loving kids, tweens, and adults.
Feisty, fearless Judy Moody (Jordana Beatty) is looking forward to the most super-duper, double-rare summer vacation ever. The trouble is, her parents are called out of town and her BFFs are going away with their own families. That leaves Judy trapped at home with her pesky brother Stink (Parris Mosteller) under the watchful eye of Aunt Opal (Heather Graham). But with a little playful planning - and a lot of imagination - Judy turns a snoresville summer into the way-not-boring adventure of a lifetime.
