The movie is just what it promised to be, an enjoyable reenactment of the novel. Its so much fun, I saw it three days in a row and can't wait to go back- and I am way too old for that! I really just need to emphasize that you MUST read the book before just seeing the movie or you will so not appreciate it. There are many small moments that would go unnoticed and misunderstood. Please read first and then go and enjoy- again and again!
