Sara's 11th in A Little Princess (1995)
There's nothing like learning your dad's been killed in World War I and being summarily banished to the servant's quarters of your draconian Victorian girls' boarding school to usher you into adolescence! My friends and I watched Alfonso Cuaron's adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel on VHS at my own 11th birthday sleep-over. Bawlfest alert. (Skip to 6:02 in the trailer above for a huge cake, even bigger hairbows and the bad news. Fun fact: The chubby little girl in glasses is the bee girl from Blind Melon's “No Rain” video!)

Charlie's birthday was the worst! I always get all teary-like when he opens the Wonka bar and therein lies nothing but a crummy chocolate bar. Cheer up, Charlie...
Uh, have you seen "AI"? Haley Joel Osment's character is named David, and he is always a robot -- he was never a version of Martin, played by a different actor.
Whoa, Chet, looks like you're right. I have seen the movie, but it was a while ago. Looks like I completely misremembered the characters. Sorry about that, thanks for the catch!
