this movie was incredible. EXCEPT i hate how they changed the ending. For people who read the book and go see the movie they wont like the ending. i thought the acting was great and realistic. Channing and Amanda were so amazing. The ending really just made me mad. The first hour was the very best. Either way the story is depressing but it left off on a somewhat happy ending which is not what portrayed in the book. Either way it was great and its always good to see one of your fav books be brought to life in a movie. If it would have kept its original ending sad or not, it would have been one of the best movies in the world. Either way i loved it.
