I am 25 & enjoyed the books so much I read them 3x's. Yes I do have a life :). Because I enjoyed the books so much I didnt think the movie would be able to hold a candle to it. It did hold that candle. Though the dialouge & certain events were cut dramatically due to length, what they had was more than I expected. They added alot of humor & it was beautifully shot. The actors did an amazing job at making their characters believable. They all had great chemisrty. Though some of the lines that were added/cut from the book left a couple of the scenes feeling a little cheesy and parts of the story line a little thin, they did an amazing job at bringing the book to life.
