I really enjoyed the movie! Yes it was low budget and yes the theater was packed with tweenage and teenage girls. But the movie was a must see for fans of the books. Some scenes were out of sequence from the book and lots of plot was cut and a few things were added but mostly the main storylines were kept. The actor who played James did an amazing job as did the rest of the actors in the cast. As a huge fan of the books I look forward to the next 3 movies :)
