One of my new favorite movies

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 1999)

I really liked this film. It gave me the same feeling I had when I read the book. It made me laugh, cry, and this movie has not left my thoughts since seeing it on opening day. The performances were great, and if anyone deserves an Oscar nomination, and I could only choose one, it would have to be Doug Hutchison's performance as Percy Wetmore. He played Percy just as the book described him. I really appreciated the fact that they stayed faithful to the book. There are only a handful of great movies that have stayed faithful to the original material and this is one of them. I can't wait to see this movie again and I'm definately adding it to my video library.
