Okay movie, but.... (possible spoilers)

It had almost nothing to do with the book! About the only thing that was the same was the fact that Clark came to visit Milly and Willie. are the filmmakers even reading the books anymore? The last couple of movies were the same way- they aren't really following the books anymore.

Okay, sorry for the ranting, I just had to get that out. I'm finished now :).

They probably had Clark visit Missie and Willie because Katherine Heigl couldn't play Marty, and it would have been hard to have Missie and Willie visit Clark and Marty with no Marty. And unlike switching Missie actresses, the filmmakers thought that only Katherine could play Marty.
