Dear Lemon Lima

By: Vanessa Aron

Messy Magazine was the media sponsor for Dear Lemon Lima. This movie was set in Alaska and follows 13 year old Vanessa Lemor. Vanessa lives for one thing, to re-win the heart of Phillip Georgey, her young love that ran off to Paris for a semester and then returned wanting nothing to do with her. To regain his interest, Vanessa transfers schools and enters “Snowstorm Survivor Competition” – a competition Phillip won the previous year.

While entering the competition may be to win Phillip’s heart back, Vanessa gains true friends, confidence and learns whether or not she really needs Phillip in her life. You know everything most 13 year olds are dealing with. Who cannot relate to the awkward early teens or contending for the heart of a love? Scattered with sketches and teen-year doodling, found in Vanessa’s dairy (Lemon Lima), the film felt whimsical and very day-dreamy. The soundtrack was excellent and overall I’d have to use the word ‘cutesy’ to describe Dear Lemon Lima. http://www.dearlemonlimamovie.com/
