If you read the book first-----------

Rating: 4/10 (13 May 2008)

The book has the depth, the perspective of true grieving. In the book you are there with feeling; the loss of your best friend, the man you planned to be with forever---because you had forever & your love is beyond love. The movie is light in comparison, the book rips you raw..The movie tried so hard to get it all in. I like Swank she is a great actress, (just not for this movie) her friends were good on their own.. Even Harry Connick Jr. could not make the magic or even be a real friend due to the script.
The mother--I will not even go there her part is far off base. Please pick one--the movie or the book.
PS, I loved the book
