Thought it was Wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2010)

I read the book a year ago and so wanted Channing Tatum to play the main roll. I was so excited when I saw on IMDb a yr ago that he was the main character. And yes, he did a great job! I was upset that they chose Amanda Seyfried for his leading lady because she is ugly and I thought she wasn't ideal to play Channing's woman. But, she is a pretty good actress and even though she isn't that attractive her nurturing qualities came off well in this movie, and it made you like her. I was so happy for Channing's acting in the film. I think this movie will put him on the map as a good actor. His emotional connections to the characters were evident in his acting skills, and you were cheering for him the whole movie! You see a sweet sensitive side to him that is lacking in Step Up, Gi Joe, and Stop Loss. There were a couple of things that were different from the book, so if you're real stuck on the movie flowing exactly like the book, you might be a little upset. But they got all the important qualities from the book correct. Overall, great movie! I was pleased, I'm actually seeing it again tomorrow!
