Very Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (7 January 2008)

Having read the Book which this movie is based on, i was very excited to see it come alive in the big screen. However, just before entering the cinema i became aware that it had been Americanised! The book is funny & sad & romantic. The movie was long & boring and lost all the charm of the book. All the funny characters had been left out of the movie and the funny parts of the book they kept were watered down. The movie rambles on and the true love between Holly & Gerry is never expressed on screen. If anyone wants to enjoy this story, READ THE BOOK. The film was a huge disappointment. Why are movie makers so obsessed with setting films in the states when the story doesn't call for it!
