I think you'll like it though if the book ending was a dud for you.Amanda Reyeshttp://isolemnlyswear.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244035805783633092.post-27368567588705746872014-08-21T06:13:40.697-07:002014-08-21T06:13:40.697-07:00Ouch $14 for a movie ticket?

Redbox is definitely the way to go on this one - the romance really, really annoyed me, and I rolled my eyes at quite a few things, but JEFF BRIDGES. You need nothing but Jeff Bridges and his interactions with Thwaites when they transmit memories. The single. best. parts of the movie. The. Best.Amanda Reyeshttp://isolemnlyswear.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244035805783633092.post-70317788868301828692014-08-20T18:25:21.215-07:002014-08-20T18:25:21.215-07:00I loved everything about the book, except for the ...I loved everything about the book, except for the open ending. I'm really looking forward to watch the movie and was also surprised about the main character's age difference. I do hope however that this one does have an ending worth viewieng.BookCupidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244035805783633092.post-18067250885575479712014-08-20T16:36:45.212-07:002014-08-20T16:36:45.212-07:00Yes!!

It sounds like this won't be a complete write off for me - but it will also definitely be a redbox movie for me. (This is also somewhat due to the fact that I moved from my $5 theater to a $14 one. Which SUCKS. I'm going to miss that cheap theater so much!) I can forgive a lot if the acting is good (which it unsurprisingly sounds like it is), but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get over the romance easily haha. BUT I'll give it a go once it goes to dvd :)Elizabethhttp://oboechica-books.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
