Not A good movie!, 12 August 2002
Author: Ida Rather NotSay from Texas, U.S.A

The movie stinks!! I love the book. All of the books as a matter of fact! But this movie is nothin' like the book! The scenes are all out of order and it looks like it was shot on a home video camera!! If ya like the book don't watch the movie!
