Plot

Feisty girl Judy Moody sets out to have the most thrilling summer of her life. However, her parents are traveling to California to assist Judy's grandparents, meaning Judy and her brother Stink are looked after by their aunt Opal. Judy organizes a contest with her friends to see who can have the most exciting summer by earning "thrill points". When vacation begins, her friends leave, except for Frank. Amy is going to Borneo and Rocky is going to circus camp, so Judy tries to top them. However, Frank ruins all her plans by knocking her off a tight rope, vomiting all over her on a roller coaster, and leaving the movie theater in the middle of a scary movie. After Judy's ideas go wrong, she decides to stay in her room for the rest of the summer, until she hears the newscast in front of her house.
