Great movie, better than the book!

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2002)

The movie really was better than the book, the producers made signficant changes in the beginning to setup the relationship between jamie and landon. The opening dare scene really showed the kind of guy landon was, what kind of direction he was headed, and truly made a dramatic difference between jamie and landon... When he was forced to go into drama by the principal, to me, it seemed a much more logical and natural way to setup the relationship...the movie made it seem that jamie was much more the saviour, and the landon was the one in need this way... The movie is just straight out more powerful than the book.. I think this doesn't make the book bad, its just more of a credit to the producers.

Aside from that, if you haven't read the book, go see the movie first!!! If you've seen the movie and loved it, it is probably worth your while to read it too.
And, yes, the world should have more Jamie Sullivans.
