I've now seen the movie twice. Dorky, I know. I enjoyed it much more the second time than I did the first. I think that summit did an excellent job of transferring the book to the movie. I thought that they could have made it a little longer and added some more, but on the whole it was very well done. There was nothing that I felt was overly corny, especially the sparkling effects, which I was worried about. I'm very happy that they did so well, and look forward to seeing the other books!
