Worth see, but not owning.

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2013)

This movie was pretty well done, the acting was pretty good from the whole cast, and the background was great. It truly is a thinking man's movie. As for comparing the book to the movie, it comes a little close but if your seeing this movie to see the book acted from word to word you might be a little disappointed. The two problems with this movie is the soundtrack, and how they try to add too much humor to it. I just didn't like how they try to make a period piece more "hip", but I guess that's the old man in me. But for this reason I do not see this movie becoming a classic, I predict it will only be a hit for little while and forgotten with time, not the book just the movie. Other than that, I would recommend most people to go see this movie, I just personally would not purchase it though.
