Pros: stays close to the book

Cons: stays too close to the book

yes, the pros are the same as the cons. although i do like the fact that it follows the book, it follows a little too closely. during the film, i don't even feel like i'm watching a movie; rather an illustrated book. a few differences i not...iced: 1. myrtle is not fat (yet attractive) and annoying. instead she's skinny (yet ugly) and annoying. 2. the chronology of the movie isn't dead on with the book. it's close tho. 3. daisy is way dumber in the movie than she is in the book. i hated her character in the movie.
