Not quite like the book....
Ok, so I know screenplays based on books often change things around to make a better story for a movie, but I saw this movie after reading the book and was disappointed.
I didn't like how the Ya-Ya's kidnapped Sidda and made her stay with them and learn about the "divine secrets". In the book Sidda went out to a cabin out in the middle of nowhere to figure out her life/weather or not she should marry Conner and then Necie, Caro, and Teensy show up as support and to answer questions. In the book, Sidda was grateful and eager to hear these stories, yet in the movie, Sandra Bullock is an immature cranky ass.
Kinda annoying since I just finished the book yesterday and then randomly caught the movie at like 11pm that night on TBS.
