While I enjoyed the movie because the story is wonderful I was disappointed in the casting. Almost all of the cast was wrong but Amy's actress and Laurie's actor was the worst. I had a hard time believing that Meg was older than Jo and we just didn't get to see or hear from Beth enough. I didn't feel the film was acted as well either. There were moments when the director just glazed over sweet scenes rather than giving them more detail. Overall though I am glad I went to see it.
