Did anyone read the book?
I just finished it, is the movie anything like it? I LOVED the book. I hate when they remake the whole thing.
I'm not your bitch, Bitch.
I was just looking for a similar thread on here, as I just finished the book and wonder if the movie is as good. Something tells me it might have more of a Hollywood ending instead of the rather bittersweet one in the movie.
As someone who's read the book, what did you think?
I found it very authentic, clever, wonderful, but, like I said, bittersweet. I really wanted Mrs. X to redeem herself, or at least for Nanny to get some sort of sweet revenge (although there would be no getting revenge against Mrs. X without it someway hurting Grayer...).
And although I understood why, the decision by the authors to name the main character "Nanny" (which I see was not translated into the movie) and the family the X's just really stood out to me as odd.

actually, the movie is pretty similar to the book. i enjoyed them both, i thought they were both light and enjoyable. not something i'll remember particularly but nice to read/watch for the moment.

OK, so I read the book several years ago, but from what I remember, Mrs. X was just shallow, not conflicted, and there was no Ta-Dah!! moment at the end for Mrs. X (but please correct me GENTLY if that is not true). Like I said, it was when the book was first published....
shareI like the movie better, to be honest. That's hardly ever the case for me. I'm just starting to read the book thoroughly tonight actually and I've read the beginning so far. But When I first bought the book I skimmed it to see how simillar it would be to the movie and actually cheated a bit by reading the end(my bad) and while I like the book, the way the directors of the movie wrote the script was better. Her character is more real and likable and the ending is more fulfilling. You still get the ranting at the bear thing but you also get Mrs. X's reaction as well as a letter saying she actually responded to it. There's more closure. Like I said, I rarely come across a book-to-movie adaptation that I like more than the book itself, but this was one of them. Not to mention Scarlett and Chris are brilliant in it.

actually, the movie is pretty similar to the book.Um...no, it is not. The movie took many liberties and made many more changes from the book, thereby basically taking all of the charm the novel had and throwing it right out the window.
I'm sorry, is this a press conference? share
