Gosh, it seems like yesterday I read this film in 6th grade -- it was one of my favorite books. And I really excited that they are making this into a film -- the trailer brings back so many great memories from the book. Can't wait.

i've never read the book. But i wanna see the movie

Bella Grint

I really want to see this, I loved the book when I was younger..it's a classic

millivanilli

Yes, it is a classic -- I am going to have to re-read it. I remember I cried so hard. Gosh, what a great book! I am excited about revisiting the story from my perspective now -- I just loved Jesse and Leslie and the frienship they formed. It reminds me of my childhood best friend Judson who was my next door neighbor and best friend -- we played everyday and the cool thing is that I will randomly run into when I am home.

Anyway, I can't wait to see this!

Bella Grint

I know who dies at the end..guess we can't discuss it incase it's spoilers?

taovande

It's been a book for years...does it count as a spoiler? Maybe a mod can help out here.


Also--I'm the biggest fan of the book! It made me cry buckets and I can still remember parts of the book.

The trailer of the movie makes me nervous as it appears they have Narnia-fied it and that was really only a tiny party of the book. I'm hoping the trailer is just misleading to get the audience in.

Bella Grint

Yeah the trailer confused me..I don't even remember a lot of that in the book..??

the end made me bawl!!!

i dont know if im going to see the movie. It seems like they made it SciFi and I didn't picture either Leslie or Jesse to look that way.

spacekiddet32, , I would not jump to conclusions after seeing the trailer. The story is about a magical place that two kids have created with their imagination and I think the part we see in the trailer is just us being able to see in their minds...really looking forward to it.

And I did not realize Zooey Deschanel from Elf is in this -- I loved her in that film. Can't wait to see this.

Enigma

I love Zooey!

I'm looking forward to seeing this.

spacekiddet, here are some user reviews from IMDb that I thought you would enjoy reading -- talks about how the film is true to the book. Good to hear. Can't wait to check it out!

Uh oh, I never read the book but my niece and nephews want to see the movie and I was planning on taking them. Is there not a lot of action in it? It did seem like a Narnia type movie. Is the fantasy part only a small portion of the movie or is it larger? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

taovande

In the book the fantasy part is a very small piece of the book. I'm thinking the movie may enlarge that part a bit to get an audience in.

If the reviews are to be believed and it does stay close to the novel then I don't think you or your nieces/nephews will be disappointed in the movie at all. It's a wonderful story about friendship.

I would recommend getting the book--as it's an amazing piece of work. One of my personal favorite novels from when I was a kid.

Thanks for you help taovande! I am going to see the movie next Saturday and I will probably read the book after. I won't have time to read it before. Thanks again!

The Trailer scares me, this is my favorite book like ever.
