Amazing movie. Great soundtrack, jokes and staging. This movie would be great by itself but living up to a book that it doesn't follow the backstory of is what lets it down.Leo, Rafes brother, was Rafes twin and died when they were born. Georgia was adopted after Leo had passed. Georgia has blond hair and a hip deformation. They neglected other parts of not only the title book but "My brother is a big fat liar" as well.Still a great movie regardless but it was really a let down.

Liked the story line and the imagination plot. Was a decent effort, could have been better if the actors gelled into the script. I felt there was a minor gap between the story and a group of talented actors. Alexa Nisenson was exceptional though. Positives: Story-line, Animation, Georgia, Principal Negatives: Predictable towards the end.Rating it 7 as I liked the story-line.

Middle School feels like a movie that started out as something made for adults--it doesn't feel too different from an episode of Eastbound and Down--and then reworked for kids. It's too well done to be aimed at a tween audience who are known for showing up for movies regardless of the effort put into their making. It's smartly written and has perfect comic timing, with a few performances putting it just over the top. The bits of drama make the comedy feel even more earned, and the animation doesn't tire me as much as it usually would. My biggest problem is that they staged a climactic chase scene that has no point whatsoever; also, I would have liked a more apropos comeuppance for the Carl character. His storyline was one of the most entertaining parts of the film.

I don't know why such a movie is having such a low rating i see it should be above 7/10 rating.This movie is one of the most creative movies where they beautifully mixing animation with reality also it's discussing some of the real problems with education system.I have read the novel and i may say that this movie is even better than the novel and most of the actors were well casted they didn't make the plot in it very good though obviously for the fans of the novel this movie may have been made way better than that but it's still pretty good.If you are wandering you should watch this movie or not you absolutely should watch it if you are looking for something light and enjoyable also for the sake of the creativity this movie is made with absolutely recommended.
