PS the book was FAR superior..

Rating: 6/10 (30 January 2011)

I absolutely LOVED the book but the film did not do it justice. I found the characters, in particular Daniel and Holly's mum to be obnoxious. They were all incredibly unsympathetic to someone who had just lost the love of her life. Gerard Butler's accent was dreadful but I can forgive that man pretty much anything! I agree that the Gerry flashbacks were cheesy and cringe-worthy, also the depiction of their relationship at the start didn't do them justice at all. It didn't show the love they had for each other. And using 'Fairytale....' for the funeral. Talk about a cliché! I expected to cry buckets at the film, like I did with the book but it didn't happen.
