Judy Blume’s classic 1970 novel Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret is about to hit the big screen. Starring Abby Ryder Fortson as Margaret and Rachel McAdams as her mother Barbara, the new trailer for the movie adaptation promises to capture the timeless charm—and middle-school awkwardness—of the source material.
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret follows the titular tween as she navigates the stresses of starting at a new school and first-time bra-buying. Fortunately, she’s not alone, with the support of her new friends the Pre-Teen Sensations, Barbara, her father Herb (Benny Safdie), grandmother Sylvia (Kathy Bates), and, just maybe, a higher power.
