Not the book but still good!

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2013)

If you were like me and read the book before seeing the movie I'm sure you found yourself thinking, "No!!! That's not what happens!" during the course of the movie. After blocking out the book version this movie becomes a wonderful yet sad tale of two completely screwed up individuals. As much as I enjoyed the book there were so many parts that were way too drawn out. For once a movie included all the good parts that you would like more explained and let out or briefly touched on the parts you didn't care to know that much about. The very basic idea, characters and storyline of the book was written into a movie script which would be more accepted to audiences. It was nice to have parts you never expected and actually left you thinking if it would end the way the book did or not. One of the best movies I've seen in the last 10 years. Do yourself a favor and read the book as well if you haven't. If you haven't seen the movie read the book first and then see the movie.
