A must see movie...

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2004)

I must admit, after having read the book twice, I was a bit doubtful that the movie could do it justice. I was not at all disappointed in it though. It was an excellent movie. You see the characters, not the actors portraying them. I do not think there was a dry eye in the place last night when we saw it. It is on my list to purchase as soon as it comes out on DVD.
The casting is excellent, as I cannot picture anyone else portraying any of these characters now. Costuming was awesome. I definitely recommend this one to anyone who likes a good love story. Being a fan of the author, I look forward to anything else they put to the big screen.
It is hard to put into words, but the movie was just as it should have been. There was never a moment in this movie that was used as a time filler. The interweaving of present day and past was an integral part of the story and it was done very effectively.
I highly suggest you see this one!
