Curly-10's rating
This movie was so badly put together that I don't even want to spend time explaining it. Suffice it to say that Olive Ann Burns would roll over in her grave if she knew the way her fabulous book had been butchered. So many pivotal things from the book were altered or missing that I'm convinced that no one who worked on this movie consulted the book. Too bad, because the actors are talented people. If you haven't read the book, then definitely miss this movie. If you have read the book--miss it too. Of course, you can always watch it just to see what Love Simpson's hats really looked like. The choice is yours.
I rented this movie with high hopes and the thought that was foremost in my mind at the film's end was "that was a waste of time." The commercials and promos made it look really cute. I was very disappointed by the characters. Freddie Prinze,Jr. is undeniably adorable, but his character is so spineless. Rachael Leigh Cook's character is so snotty that I couldn't feel the sympathy I know the director wanted me to (maybe it is because I remember her annoying guest appearance on Dawson's Creek.) And, that scene with the pizza was disgusting. The only characters with any life and spunk were the siblings of the two main characters--Kieran Culkin as Laney's brother and Anna Paquin as Zach's sister. Unfortunately, they weren't enough to save this movie. That is just my opinion, but I have no desire to see it again or recommend it. And if you're someone who loved the movie, please don't post a comment saying I'm stupid or don't know what I'm talking about. I do. Different strikes for different folks, I guess.
This is a fun movie! It was nice to see a movie that didn't remind me of something else. Alyssa Milano, Cathy Moriarty, Malcolm McDowell, and Sean Penn were great. A special applause to Patrick Dempsey, who shows that acting is more than just saying words. I was very touched by his performance and the bond formed by Floyd and Hugo. All in all, an unusual fun movie with a "quirky gait." Rent it and you won't be disappointed.
