If you haven't read the books, then you will probably enjoy this movie more than I did. It wasn't that they cut out so much information, as it was the lack of emotion and connection. I felt that the death portryed in this movie was glossed over. It took all of 5 minutes of screen time and the funeral was over and the characters were back discussing relationships. In the book, there is so much more emotion put into the loss of characters, that I think the movies haven't been able to capture.
