Yโall. Stop thinking this movie is good. It is not good. The book wasnโt some outstanding read or anything, good, not an all time favorite, I thought the ending was clever and enjoyed how it came full circle, but they didnโt do it justice. Fine if you want to change some of the readersโs favorite scenes, but make them BETTER, not extra boring. Frankly, if you have plans to dramatize, at least put the effort in. Chase wasnโt very cute compared to what the book suggested as an all star hunk. Tateโs dad was short (very, actually). Book and movie complaint: why donโt we hear/see more from the wife/fiancรฉ? I meanโฆ cโmon. The least a dramatization couldโve done was give us flashbacks of the murder in technicolor, but no. 2/5 at best, and thatโs being generous. A great friend compared it to Great Value Nicholas Sparks, but itโs almost offensive to compare it to him. At least they did the Notebook justice.
