My teenage daughter and I read the books together and have seen 2 of 3 of the movies together. We enjoyed the movie. The discussion afterwards about what was included and left out was just like we would do for any other movie based on a novel.
My children range from 2 to 12. We all enjoyed this movie. Their grandparents live across the country, so I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the relationships we can have with senior citizens in our community.
