'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret': A Long-Awaited Film Adaptation Delivers.
Author Judy Blume initially turned down Hollywood executives' requests to adapt her classic novel Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret into a film, but eventually gave her blessing to director Kelly Fremon Craig. The resulting film, starring Abby Ryder Fortson, Rachel McAdams, and Kathy Bates, stays true to the source material and expands on Margaret's emotions and experiences as she navigates puberty and a move to a new town. The adaptation is a love letter to fans and invites a new generation to join Margaret on her journey.
