I didn't like the cast, and the music/romance was just too cheesy. But it was pretty much what I expected, and I did enjoy it (partially). :)<br /><br />Awesome review!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925855953456526265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601431526183026449.post-10811435653937336162013-09-04T10:46:43.884-07:002013-09-04T10:46:43.884-07:00I thought this was pretty good, too! And a better ...I thought this was pretty good, too! And a better adaptation than a lot of other recent ones. I'm not sure why the critics were so grumpy either--before I went, I thought maybe it was because they'd find the story hard to follow, since most of them (like you) hadn't read the books before. But my husband hasn't either and he understood it perfectly--and enjoyed it, too.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked it!<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/09/devilandthedeepbluesea.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601431526183026449.post-35361899219933405172013-09-03T03:53:25.921-07:002013-09-03T03:53:25.921-07:00YES THIS!!! EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED <3 THANK YOU ...YES THIS!!! EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED <3 THANK YOU LIZA.<br /><br />I'm going to watch TMI with my friends next week and I've been going through negative review after negative review... It got me so worried!! I hate it when Hollywood tears apart a book and stage it the way they do it for every other movie. NO. EACH MOVIE. IS. DIFFERENT. I had very low expectations for this, and it saddens me to read all the bashing this movie received because I really loved this book and gaah I don't want to torn apart.<br /><br />Now I'm having renewed faith in the movie! Hope you'll enjoy the book, the middle was my favourite and I'd have loved it to pieces if not for ZEE ENDING. IENKDSUJWND!!! HAHA IN ANY CASE, THANK YOU FOR THE MOVIE REVIEW!!<br /><br />Alicia @ <a href="http://summernexttopstory.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Summer Next Top Story</a>alicia♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/17425350386344327584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601431526183026449.post-84358982973742597602013-09-01T20:10:50.951-07:002013-09-01T20:10:50.951-07:00I've heard it compared to Twilight, Harry Pott...I've heard it compared to Twilight, Harry Potter and even Lord of the Rings! I don't see it really resembling any of those movies... it seems very unique to me. :) <br /><br />I agree! From what I have read of the book so far, I have seen some differences, but I think it's been portrayed very well so far! :)<br /><br />Thank you for commenting! :)<br />Book Crook Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665787911458461098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601431526183026449.post-37062006981272679332013-09-01T20:04:04.480-07:002013-09-01T20:04:04.480-07:00I haven't heard it compared to any movies, so ...I haven't heard it compared to any movies, so not sure which one you're talking about. But I thought they did a great job with bringing this book to life. I've only read it once or twice, but thought it was a great movie!
