One you cannot miss

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2008)

Firstly, I'd like to say I usually don't give 10's out to dramas. I had read the book prior to the movie and was deeply moved by the story. I instantly fell in love with the two boy characters and cared about what went on with them. By the end of the story, I couldn't speak out loud what I was thinking, all I knew was...it was one of a kind.
I saw the movie today with my sister and we both left with different emotions. I was deeply deeply moved by it. The adaptation was great! They changed a few thing around, but I actually liked the movie better than the book. By the end of the movie, I was sobbing and my sister was nauseous. It's such a moving story but with a real sad but true ending.
Surprisingly, for me a lot of the amazement came out of the acting of Asa Butterfield (Bruno) and Jack Scanlon (Schmuel) as the two boys. It was great to see such wonderful acting alongside their great cuteness! I think without a doubt, this movie is a definite must-see.
