How perfect do you want it?

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2002)

This was a great movie, why? Because it catches the book perfectly, how? It follows the book religiously. Yet we get some user critics complaining it `was a bit flat' or `I didn't like this portrayal' I also notice that the critics that rate this movie low, have the comments `I haven't read the book _ _ _ _'. Well that's the point, the movie is biased on a CHILDRENS book, therefore it is not an original screenplay. One reviewer actually suggested changes!!! If the film makers had made the film any different there would have been howls from here to Timbuktu. My first suggestion is to some of the User critics, don't be so picky. My 2nd suggestion Read the Book, See the Movie, you would appreciate the whole experience more.
I had the happy experience sitting next to my 8 year old daughter, to watch the movement of emotions across her face was well worth the price of the Ticket. Go see it.
