In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Why ruin my favorite book of all time.They got rid of 4 characters (Dr. Denton Deere, Flora Baumbach, Madame Hoo, and Chris' and Theo's father).Destroyed four plots. (Angela's future husband, Turtle's "mom", the burglar plot, and the connection to Violet Westing.Completely ruined the personalities (and names) of all of the Winsdor THEN Windklopple not whatever stupid last name they have in the movie.Where did Turtle's braids go? Why is Angela a snob? Why is Grace so friendly? When did Jake work at a store? Why is James skinny? Since when was Doug nice? Why is Angela in love with Edgar Plum? Where did Angela's bombing plot go? Where are the candles made by Turtle? How was this AWFUL movie even released??????!!!!DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! WORST MOVIE BY FAR!!!!!!!

I am a teacher who read The Westing Game to his class. Then we watched the movie. I did not feel that the movie did the book justice, but here is what some of my students thought:The movie was different from the book. Why did you leave out that Turtle won $200 million? Brittany.I liked the movie, because some of the details in the movie were different, like when Turtle was under the judge's desk and Crow helped her. The book was better, but I wouldn't mind watching the movie again. ShaniceI think the book was better, but the movie was good too. I liked the movie, because it wasn't soooo confusing, and there wasn't much violence. MarisaI liked the movie, because you can understand it. I liked it because Turtle was such a smart girl, and she helped solve the problems. I liked the boy in the wheelchair (Chris), because he helped solve problems too. I think that Turtle is a funny name. SandraI loved the movie, because they have good details and a great plot. JoshI liked the movie, because most of the information matched the book. StephenI think that the book and the movie were both really good. Some parts were in the book and weren't in the movie, like the dressmaker (Flora Baumbach) wasn't Turtle's partner, and she wasn't even in the movie. The movie was more interesting than the book. SibelThe movie was da bomb--just joking. It was good and so was the book. Turtle was the best part in the movie and the smartest one except for Sandy the doorman. DakotaI liked the book, but I didn't like the movie as much. I hope they make another movie that is better than this one. I liked the movie because they left out some of the details that I thought were boring in the book. Tyler

When I read the Westing Game, I thought the movie was going to be good. Unfortunately, it bit the big one. I'm not one to mince words, so I'll admit that that was one of the worst movies on the planet. Extremely boring, not one interesting part in the whole shmere. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ................

Ok well I was overjoyed to find out that someone cared enough about this book to make a movie out of it. But when I watched this I was very disappointed. It was way too short. I wanted it to be just like the book, a mystery. But the way you could tell that Ray Walston was the same 4 people was sad. His black hair Piece for Barney Northrop looked like it was going to fall off and second. My 5-year-old sister figured out the mystery after the first 10 minutes. And his pretrial of Sandy seemed more angry, and selfish then the sweet funny Sandy who always tried to cheer everyone up in the book. Sydelle Pulaski was more like Mrs. Bomback then the ignored, depressed Sydelle in the book. Well to keep this short none of the characters were the same as the book in this movie. The Westing Mansion looked smaller then my house and my house is very small. This movie would be so much better if they made it look more like a movie and less like my little sister going over to someone's house with a camera and trying to film their own version of it with my mom manning the camera, and them improving the script. I wish I could say more about this movie but I can't. Oh wait, Shane West is really sexy in a wheel chair.
