Very disappointing...
Excellent adaptation.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
"Book of Love" is a great movie to sit down with on a Saturday afternoon or on a rainy day. It's one of those movies that's considered "cute." The movie is told from teenager Jack's point of view. It's about his life. It's really fun to look back at the 50's and see how different things are now...even if you're not from that generation. The hairdos, the clothes, the cars? All authentic...or at least very realistic. This movie is a definite must-see if you're in the mood to see a good movie and you're just not sure what you want to see.
The movie has a simple goal, and that's to make you like the under-appreciated, overlooked geek known as Jack Twiller--to sympathize with his coming of age: the awkwardness, embarrassing moments, bullies, and, yes, even pimple cream. There is no great intellectual message, no uplifting moral to the movie. Quite honestly, it doesn't take itself that seriously, which is the entire point. This isn't an art house film, folks. It's a "kick back in your flannel jammies with some ice cream after a rotten day" kind of movie. It's a fun movie made simply to make us laugh. Stop analyzing and digging for profundity. Just laugh.
I think "Book Of Love" is a great movie. It's fun, hilarious, and definitely one of my favorite movies. Chris Young is funny (and gorgeous, of course!) and so is the supporting cast...especially Keith Coogan. If you like a sweet original comedy you'll love this movie!
Book Of Love had some very funny moments but just seemed like a cable movie of the week.
