At first, I was a little nervous about seeing the movie because I worried it would not do the book justice and I was worried it would be cheesy, but once the movie started, those worries faded. A few parts were a bit cheesy, but they did not ruin the effect of the movie at all for me. I loved the characters and the cinematography! I was a little worried about the original casting, but after seeing the movie, I think they did a great job. The movie was not exactly like the book, but I enjoyed some of the new "takes" that they decided to insert. I really enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it. It may be a bit confusing if you haven't read the book, but it was very entertaining and really brought the book to life!
