not what i expected

Rating: 4/10 (25 July 2006)

This movies was not what i wanted to see after reading the book. the book was far more witty than the movie. not only that, but some of the important characters to the story weren't the same in the movie. they had different jobs etc. The boyfriend is not a chef he's supposed to be a teacher. and what happened the the alcoholic best friend who's a student??? that made up quite a bit of the book and it was supposed to be one of the reason's she comes home from France. oh! and the ending... OMG the ending sucked! i was looking forward to Meryl Streep's character being told off by the assistant but no, all we get in the movie is her walking away. boohoo!! I must say i was disappointed with this movie. I know not all movies follow the book but for the most part most movie adaptations keep the characters the same and at least the major details of the story's plot unchanged.
