not bad but doesn't follow the book all the way.


I finished watching the film at school and it was good. and that's as far as i'll go. The book is great but they don't translate it completely in the film. I recommend the book 100%.

I agree, I read the book a long time ago for an English class I was taking. I REALLY enjoyed the book, and I'm not one for love stories at all. I was let down quite a bit when I saw the movie, they changed WAY to much. One good thing from the movie though...I reconized alot of the same people that were in the cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China" in this movie. heh :)
