Abenezer M. @AbenezerM Sep 5 It was just fine, based on what I heard about the book I was expecting a lot more depth to the character and his development through the movie. I was disappointed to see that wasn’t the case. As most adaptations of the books, I have a feeling this doesn’t do justice to original source material. I haven’t read the book yet so I can’t recommend it, but that is what I’ve decided to do. See more David E Aug 13 This is a very vague rendition of the book. I really feel like they should talked about the practices that charlie had to go through. He had to write logs every day butt decided to leave that out from the movie. He also had a lot more memories that we're left out of this movie. There were three more important characters which were removed out of this movie. The movie definitely removed a blot from the book. and the pacing was obviously rushed See more Phillip D @phildub Mar 12 I’ve heard a lot about the book. The movie is pretty good. Got me interested and kept my attention. Great overall story & meaning. Will do some thinking after this one for sure.

I struggled to get through the first 10 minutes of this garbage before turning it off. Modine's "acting" is so horrendous it made me cringe. The directing was awful as well. I'm assuming this was a made for tv movie? Felt very rushed and completely out of touch with the subject matter at hand. If there is a stereotypical trope about MR people you'd expect from someone who really knows nothing about them to roll out, they did it in the first 10 minutes. Example, the doctor tells Charlie to close his eyes. Charlie closes his eyes and says, "it's dark." As if the man had never closed his eyes before?!?! That wasn't in the book and that's when I had enough. Great book. Horrible movie. See more 10/12/2018 BEST MOVIE EVER I WAN TO BE A GENAS See more Read all reviews
