Just plain disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2011)

As I began to read the book I was interested and the further I got the more excited I was about it because it was a book about an IRISH woman who lost her husband and her way to move on in Ireland not America.
And when the film came out I was just as excited but then as it went on I was so disappointed I really wished I could have had my money back. While I get it is based on the book of Cecila Ahearn I didn't like that it was taken away from Ireland, this was one of the modern ways to show people who don't see Ireland very much or at all what the country is like, how the people live and how Irish families help each other out when someone is grieving.
I will always like the book because it's based at home in Ireland but the film was just awful.
Where was the part when when Holly ran into Gerry's parents when she was meant to be out on a date? I normally don't get offended by films or books but this really was this was offensive to me, it's like the screen writers seen this and instead of doing what was right, keeping the story in Ireland taking it to the US. (I have no issue with Americans as I am married to one, but I have an issue when something so great as this book comes out it's taken away from its home, from where it belongs.) This film gets a 1 star from me.
