It's a good movie. a good watch for christmas.though it was not the same as the book. only the characters were taken from the book and the whole plot was changed. I liked the story of Jubilee and Stuart from the book. they completely changed their story. same goes for Tobin and Angie, Addie and jeb.any way the movie is based on a completely different story. there was a new story about Dorrie, addies best friend which was pretty unexpected. a good watch though...
