IN OUR OPINION, WHY YOU SHOULD SEE THE FILM :
Totally unmanageable, wisecracking, gum-chewing twelve-year-old Gilly is well known in the foster system. When Gilly is sent to live with the Trotters, she isn´t planning to stick around. The Great Gilly Hopkins is the hilarious and big-hearted story about a headstrong girl who wants to find a place to call home. The actors are wonderful and lovable !!! Great story for optimistic people who really believe in human kind.
