It could make for a great double feature with the documentary “Judy Blume Forever,” which is available on Prime Video. Rachel McAdams is also a standout as Margaret’s mother. Like the book, it’s set in the early 1970s, because Blume did not want the characters to be texting. It is sweet, playful and reverential to its source material, which is hardly a requirement for enjoying the film. Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig (“The Edge of Seventeen”), Abby Ryder Fortson plays the 11-year-old narrator who is navigating a move to the suburbs, new friends, puberty, periods, first crushes and her faith. The film adaptation of Judy Blume’s classic coming-of-age novel “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” will be available on video on demand starting Tuesday - perfect for summer sleepovers or mother-daughter movie nights at home. Among the offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists are Idris Elba on the worst flight ever in the new series “Hijack” for Apple TV+ and a horror movie starring “Succession’s” Sarah Snook as the single mother of a young girl who says she has memories of another life.
