It was more a summary of the book, but I think it added some neat images by showing the birds. My husband said that he was amused by it since people were all going nuts about snowy owls spotted at the lake where he works. The movie got a lot of bad reviews, but I think it depends on what you were looking for. As a comedy, it is not drop-dead funny. It is more about three men, and why they sought to find the most birds, and what they learned in the end. It was a great moral story about how you can seek to be the best, and even win, but is it really worth costing you everything?Christina Lasswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814444192738330952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197764805347549588.post-4943324306426775912012-05-07T09:16:23.724-05:002012-05-07T09:16:23.724-05:00Yes, that was fun to see because of the time perio...Yes, that was fun to see because of the time period. What did you think of "The Help" compared to the book? I loved the movie; ashamed to say I didn't read the book!Christina Lasswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814444192738330952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197764805347549588.post-47489264394465384082012-05-06T10:08:25.181-05:002012-05-06T10:08:25.181-05:00I don't know if it did excellent justice to th...I don't know if it did excellent justice to the book, but I enjoyed "The Prize Winner", which is a book you mentioned in an earlier blog, I believe. I enjoyed the book and the movie. However, I think the movie made to the husband out to be worse than he really was in person.Barb Leatherman (mom)noreply@blogger.com
