I watched an interview with Jodi Foster on the CBS Early Show when she was promoting this movie and from the movie clip I saw and the interview, I'd say kids will love this movie and teens too (at least the teens who don't think they're already grown up will). 

 The interaction with the animal and the girl would make this movie of interest to anybody who is very interested in animals, animal training and animal behavior.  Also, the girl has to "pull some things together" to achieve her goals, much like the MacGuyver TV show, so fans of A-Team, MacGuyver and similar stories would probably like...
