Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJudy Blume, the author of the source novel, has a walk-on role as a woman walking a dog.
- GoofsIn the synagogue, they are using the (Conservative) Rabbinical Assembly's Siddur Lev Shalem prayer book. It was published in 2016. The cantor is a woman, but females weren't ordained as cantors until 1975 for Reform and 1987 for Conservative.
- Quotes
Margaret: I immediately wanted to take it off.
Barbara Simon: Yeah. Welcome to womanhood.
- Crazy creditsFans of "The Simpsons" especially will note the Gracie Films logo at the beginning of the film, used at the end of episodes of the aforementioned television show. Gracie Films is an American film and television production company, founded by James L. Brooks in 1986 and named for comedian Gracie Allen, formerly wife and professional partner of George Burns. James Brooks is also a producer of the film. Among other shows and movies, Gracie Films is responsible for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1970-77), "Jerry McGuire" (1996), and "As Good as it Gets" (1997).
- Alternate versionsThe version of the film shown at advanced screenings featured a "Margaret Moments" segment prior to the film playing, which features women recounting their memories which are relatable to the characters/situations of the original book. Marge Simpson appears during this segment, likely because James L. Brooks/Gracie Films produced the film.

Featured review
First time in theater in 3 years for me.
So much to think about after seeing this today. I thought the acting was very good. Realistic. In 4th grade I remember a big controversy at my school about this book. We were not allowed to read it. That was 1978. How refreshing to see what all the fuss was about. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing this film and look forward to buying the book! Powerful. Kathy Bates character is so lovable and fun. Who wouldn't want a Grandma like that? Her timing is hilarious. She's so warm in all the right places. She's the true hero to me. Costumes/attire/fashions seemed believable. Kudos to costume designers. Of course kudos to Judy Blume for the courage to write a book for girls with big ideas. Because we have brains.
