Early reviews for “Bridge to Terabithia” online have revealed the film to be a coming of age drama along “My Girl” & “Stand By Me” lines.
This seems rather strange as Disney’s marketing trailers and TV spots peg this as more of a “Narnia”/”Eragon” style fantasy adventure.
A similar thing happened last month when Disney marketed “Primeval” as a serial killer movie when it actually turned out to be a very odd giant croc meets “Hotel Rwanda” themed B-movie.
Despite the mislead though, and unlike “Primeval”, word on “Terabithia” seems to be pretty good.
