I give this movie a 2.5. It could have been so much better if it would have followed the book's ending. Quite a disappointment to the well written, emotional ending of the novel.
boring
it rocked but some advice to peaple who haven't seen it or read the book make sure you have Kleenex by your side at all times!
i loved it!!! but one thing that i should of done was BRING MORE TISSUES!!!!!
I thought the movie was very moving and realistic, however, I found the book much better. I found the book,much more intense, with plots that were not in the movie. For those of you who have not read the book, get it and read it........
This movie moved me deeply. There were many people in the theatre, and throughout the movie you could have neard a pin drop! An emotionally mature, and sensitive film that provokes thought and feeling on many levels.
the best movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very irritated with people who are rating this movie as being terrible simply because of the ending. I understand that it is a dissapointment when you read a book and look forward to the movie expecting it to be exacly like the book. HOWEVER, although I have not read the book myself I did hear about it through a friend of mine. I believe that the ending of the movie is MUCH more realistic then the one in the book. I believe that some of the negative comments are very ignorant and this movie deserves much praise!!! I definitaly recomend it and give it 5 stars!!
Great family storey;hopefully a far-fetched scenerio;physical and mental abuse of one family member vs. another should never be encountered forcefully.
Loved it !!! Tears fell !!
