There are a few movies (Pursuit of Happyness -- which I reviewed here is one), where I think that they get a great <i>idea</i> from a book, and create a great <i>story.</i> I would like to see it, and will definitely skip the book!

Anyway, Dawn, I hadn't heard of either the book OR the movie but I generally like the types of characters George Clooney plays and so I guess if I were to go for either of the options, I'd go the movie route on your recommendation. Thanks for the chuckles this morning. =D This review was so delightfully entertaining. =D

NO, Narnia and the Disney version of Hunchback of Notre Dame were not in that category, and I basically start spewing at the mouth when talking about them. But I actually liked the movie Howard's End better than the book. Also the first Bourne movie. (Ok, admittedly, those kind of books are practically written to be movies, but still). So, am I gathering that you'd recommend the movie Up in the Air?
