The 2010 movie adaptation of the Ramona Quimby series of books by Beverly Cleary. Instead of adapting a single book, though, the movie hits on most of the major story lines of the series and compresses everything into a single year (the books take place over a span of six years).

Tropes used in Ramona and Beezus (film) include:

Actor Allusion: At the expense of Selena Gomez.
Compressed Adaptation: The movie hits on most the major plot events of the books by making them all happen in a relatively short time period.
Embarrassing Nickname:

Beezus: Who could ever love someone named Beezus?
Ramona: Jesus?

Gosh Darn It to Heck: As in Ramona the Brave, Ramona is so angry she threatens to say a bad word. So she shouts "GUTS!", but rather than get in trouble, she gets laughed at.
Never Trust a Trailer: While the movie has a lot of humor in it, the trailers make it seem like a slapstick comedy.
Non Indicative Title: Despite the title being an inversion of the first book's title, that book has the least amount of material used in the movie.
- Much of the film's plot actually comes from the fourth book Ramona and Her Father.
The Runaway: Ramona
