And when they take old funny G rated cartoons and make them into PG movies. Happens a lot. All for a buck...funny though, parents are the ones taking the kids to the movie, so they'd have to pay regardless!!! Nope, they have to make it racy.

It is a good read, leads the mind to wonder. Don't know that the movie will do the book justice though, many don't and that's always disappointing. Greshams right though, saying sorry when you're not sucks. I remember loving the book as a kid and pulled it out not long ago to share with my own wee ones.

I thought it was beautiful and bittersweet. But I do not think it's a children's movie, and I also don't think it was intended to be. I loved it. I thought it was beautiful and bittersweet.

It also did seem rather gloomy and depressing. I think it's more of a movie for adults about the loss of childhood innocence than a movie for kids.

I never have liked it when people made a child say they were sorry (when clearly they were not). To me, it just taught them that empty words could cover their true feelings. Bad message.

But the movie was extremely depressing. I went with four friends and left feeling along and sad. I'm not a fan of the book either, and this hasn't changed my mind about the franchise.
