    For over 50 years, Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret has been a beloved touchstone of coming-of-age literature. It’s honestly wild that it has never been adapted into a movie, but the whims of Hollywood satisfyingly explain themselves to no one. Now, we have it: what looks to be a warm, delightful adaptation starring Rachel McAdams, Benny Safdie, and Kathy Bates, and introducing Abby Ryder Fortson as Margaret. It gives me the warm and fuzzies just thinking about it.
