Paper Doll

I'm not embarrassed to say I voluntarily watched Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, and I'm even less embarrassed to say I was totally charmed by it — Abigail Breslin makes a pretty adorable little Depression-era newshound, and a cast piled high with the likes of Wallace Shawn, Stanley Tucci, Joan Cusack, and Jane Krakowski sure doesn't hurt, either. Kit Kittredge is my "Hidden Gem" DVD pick this week for CBC Radio — click here and you can hear me make my case for it at greater length.
