Movie Review by Danielle
March 31st, 2006

SMALL WARNING for spoliers:
I really like this movie and thought that Liev did a great job directing and using just enough of the book that anyone who didn't read it will still be able to love it.
I thought the cast was great and the comedic/dramatic chemistry between the three leads kept the movie going.
I have to admit to adapt this book was a big risk since it had three different storylines going on but the one path he chose(the main one) was done almost perfect.
The only problem I ahd was that they changed the ending, I thought the original was more dramatic and the one they switched it with seemed like it wanted to make a certain character look "unflawed" the book showed that we sometimes make bad decisions for good reason but it gets a little lost in the movie's new ending.
But I did love the movie and give it my thumbs up!:)
