Okay, with proper spelling and grammar: this movie is a disgrace to the book. There's a magic line that was put there by the town founder and THAT'S why blacks and whites don't cross it?

I have never seen a movie that disappointed me more than this did. It felt like it had just been thrown together. And they left out Grayson, one of the best characters, all because "OMG he dies and we can't show that because it'll traumatize our six-year-old target audience!" The movie should have been made a few years after the book came out, not after everything on TV started turning into dumbed-down politically correct crap.

You'll be sorry I sent those nice young men in their clean white coats!

I didn't like it much either. Everything was changed, and the ending was corny. Everything looked fake, and you certainly couldn't tell it was a 2003 movie. Harry Potter came out earlier, with better effects. But then again, this is Nickelodeon. (sp?) And what was with the beans? All that did was give me a random craving for baked beans, then I was starving all through science.

See ya in Happy Pony Candy Rainbow Land!
