Book Fans Beware
PostedFebruary 14, 2010

If you're a die-hard PJ fan, then you'll be deeply disappointed by how far the movie strays from the book series. Clearly, they wanted to make a movie that could stand on its own (i.e., make more money) with the non book readers. Add to this an obvious reference to taking drugs in the Lotus Casino and significant sexual overtones from Persephone to Grover -- what's up with that? -- and you have a film that makes the books look bad. Pity. We never thought the movie could or would replicate the books, but this film went to the point of taking license. Riordin's series that he wrote for his young son was turned into a teenage hormone romp. Our prediction: There will not be a sequel.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
