My daughter made me read the book aloud to the whole family the week before the picture came out, so we could all attend together and know the story. Now I feel like one of those literary snobs, because the book was better than the movie. I found myself saying (sometimes out loud), "Hey, that's not how it goes!" when they would deviate from the book, which they did pretty frequently (I guess it's hard to fill 90 minutes from a 180 page children's book).
And this is knit-picking, and I know she's a little girl going thru an awkward pre-teen stage, but did anyone think Annasophia Robb's facial features and weird large eyes made her look like the kid in the "Aerials" video from 'System of a Down'?
Read the book (preferred) or see the movie, either/or, but not both. I'd have given it higher marks without knowing the story first.
Oh, and Dave Matthews, it ain't acting when you play yourself.
