I knew the movie would be different from the book and books are usually better than the movie..... and that is the case here also. However, once I was able to QUIT comparing the movie with the book - it was great. You just have to remember NOT TO COMPARE. You obviously don't get all the details in the movie. We will be seeing it again, and probably again after that. I'm with another review that I read earlier, it was just to short!!!!
