Did you read the book? Have you seen the movie?
Read the book last weekend in anticipation of the movie opening this weekend. Thought the book was good. Nothing great but good. Saw the movie last night. Thought the movie was better than the book. It follows it pretty well but the few tweeks were better, IMO and the acting was really good, I thought.

I read the book but will probably wait for the DVD. Did you read the sequel book?

My friend saw it yesterday with her teenage daughter. They both said the movie was even better than the book!

I read the book, and saw the movie the other day. Both were pretty good, and the movie was pretty true to the book.
i predict an uptick in the purchase of cellos for young teen girls.

Glad to hear the movie is good. My dd15 and I have both read the book, and I wanted to surprise her with a movie date on Tuesday. We don't see movies often, so I was hoping it would be really good.

I drove dd and some her friends to see it Friday and ended up meeting my friend there to watch it too. I have never read the book, but thought the movie was good. Spoiler below. I will say that the end made everyone in the theater really mad. There was a loud...."what???" At the end. Lol! |

Great teen angst movie for sure! I really liked it too. (A bit, just a bit, long for me but...) ITA and was actually thinking this while watching the move last night. ITA - with your spoiler TankTop. That happened in our theatre too. |

well lookie here! who would have guessed a secret message in the message! Did you know this site has a cool spoiler feature? after you hit reply, on the message's task bar at the very end is a yellow smiley face with a finger over it's lips. Click it and you get a secret place to insert spoilers that won't show up in the main message so each reader can choose to see it or not. COOL! |

If they had read the book, the ending wouldn't have gotten that reaction. It follows the book really well.

Our theatre sounded happy with the ending. I did find it amusing that there was a collective sob from the audience when the grandpa was telling her it was ok to go. Loved the movie, I think I'll want to get it when it comes out on DVD. |

You might want to try the spoiler button to continue the conversation as to not irritate people who didn't want a spoiler (not me, it isn't my kind of book or movie, so I don't care, just a random thought)  |

I just powered through all ten seasons of Grey's Anatomy on hulu and the preview for that movie was on constantly... honestly every 10 minutes it seemed like it. I am so over it I don't think I'm going to see the movie.
