It could have been MUCH better

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2011)

As I stated in my summary, this movie could've been so much better!
When I rented this movie out the other day I was super excited, since I'd recently read the book the movie was based on (by Ceclia Ahern, I recommend you read it) I thought 'I bet they made the movie a-maz-ing!' Instead I got home, sat on the couch for 2 hours then felt sorely disappointed afterward.
The only thing the movie does to stick with the book is the idea that a husband dies and afterward the widow is devastated. Then the husband sends letters to her after his death. That's not to say the acting in the movie was horrible, in fact it was fine, but the storyline was VERY pore.
They invented a character into the movie, gave a character a syndrome when he wasn't meant to, made characters American instead of Irish and deleted many of my favourite characters out! And that's only 4 of the at least 10 problems that ruined it.
As a whole, I realised I lost a whole 2 hours of my life. The movie itself is alright if you haven't read the book and are very much into romcoms. But at no point can I say I cried or felt anything for the characters in the movie as I did when reading the book.
