I read the book and quite enjoyed it -- so when the movie came out, I figured I'd like to go and see it.
My sister and I went last night (headed for appy's first -- didn't want dinner because that wouldn't have left room for popcorn :lol: ) We had a very nice evening.
The movie itself was just ok. I guess I was expecting more :huh:
I felt that the feel of the movie wasn't that of the book (for me anyways -- who knows what the book author's intentions were). The movie had a darker feel to it somehow... almost trying to be creepy at times. And some of the characters in the book were minimized in the movie and not really prominent -- felt the story would have been better if the supporting characters were developed more. I know, it's often the case with books vs movies...
A big plus though -- Eric Bana, who played Henry... YUMMY!
If you want a girls night out, go for it. Otherwise, wait for the video...
