Absolutely loved this movie. Perhaps because it was aimed directly towards my demographic - 30's, avid fan of the book, into fantasy-type movies. Whatever the reason, this movie struck a deep chord. I cried through all the parts that didn't crack me up. Either way I had tears in my eyes throughout. I honestly couldn't fathom why anyone would give it any lower rating than a unequivocal 5 stars and was shocked to find that some people even hated it. I wouldn't recommend it for young kids, but everyone else should at least give it a try.
