Based on the novel by Kate diCamillo of the same name, Because of Winn-Dixie is the story of the friendship between a young girl and a dog. India Opal is the new kid in the block. She and her preacher dad just moved from Watley to Naomi, a small rural town. Opal can't make friends easily but this all changes when she meets Winn-Dixie, a dog she "adopted" after she saw it in the Winn-Dixie grocery store.
I didn't like the book much (in comparison with The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane) nor did I like the movie... At first. (It's not only because it stars the young AnnaSophia Robb...) The first thirty to forty minutes of the film was kind of boring and the acting was a little lacking, I guess. But as the movie progressed, Robb's acting improved greatly and so did everyone else's. That must look really weird but that was it for me. :)
