All though I love the book the movie fell short. They aged Jonas for nothing but the sex appeal. It truely hurt to see my favorite characters be numbly reimagined into "boy 1, boy 2, girl 3". If I could say anything I would say the Chief Elder and Giver where very good at playing there roles. Maybe my favorite part of the movie is the Chief Elder and the Giver speaking to eachother. They shouldn't be my favorite part.
