Movies are never as good as the books, but this one did a pretty good job of condensing the book into a two hour movie.
I’m also happy that after Oprah removed the book from her list that the movie came to fruition. The book had an amazing story regardless of its origins.
For the other people’s reviews, I agree, not the best addict movie. The before treatment story was nil. The main characters acting was flat but the rest of the ensemble made up for it.
If I watched movies more than once I believe I would watch this one again.
ENJOY!
