Redundant and unnecessary.

Memorable, crazy movie

As Good As It Gets

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I only give the movie a 10 because I am a fan of Michelle. I think you guys are forgetting 1 important aspect. It's a lot Cheaper to write a book than it is to make a movie. If they put Every detail of that book into the move it probably be like 6 to 12 hrs long.What audience has a attention span that long. It would have cost Lifetime the network 3 times more money to make it exactly like the novel.I hope you people who read the book will cut the TV movie some slack. It was a very romantic movie.Michelle did a good performance of Carrie.She has grown up in this movie.She is not young Dawn anymore in Buffey.Lifetime has lots of good movies like switched at birth and facing the enemy.I hope that you guys will take the time and watch these quality programs.They are geared for couples and more mature families.I have not read the book so I don't know what they left out and don't care.I have a hard time reading anyways so it doesn't bother me.Ladies and guys please watch the movie again and remember what I said and then you will have more appreciation for the Movie.I know when your use to the book it would be nice to have every part. It's not fair to expect any network to spend milllions of dollars to make a movie to everyones liking.Lifetime good job on the movie and keep making more great movies."Lifetime Television for Women" wink wink.I should ask them to pay me for giving their network a plug lol

This is the first time I have seen Michelle Trachtenberg in an adult role. She still looks like a cute kid but her acting talent puts her into the character as a twenty-something. Probably not an Emmy role but notable just the same. The gal is good!The DP got the angles and lighting right, but a note to the costume designer and/or director: She looks good in colors other than black.The story did have a few interesting turns. I can see why it was a best selling book...and why it was made into to a Lifetime movie. If you like them (I do), you will like this one, too. The ending (and Michelle) left me begging for a sequel or maybe a short series.

The director and producer took a good (not great) adult novel with an interesting plot and turned it into a teenybopper soap opera. The cast, without exception, was one-dimensional and juvenile, obviously chosen to appeal to viewers around junior high school age. Don't they think adults watch television? This film was the first movie my husband and I have watched on cable TV since we got our satellite dish over a year ago. Now we see what we have not been missing. I was interested in the previewing comments from several people who deplored the casting of Carrie. It's clear to me that this casting set the tone for the entire production, negatively in my view.

I didn't think the lead actress had enough depth and gravitas to carry off the part of the main character, who while eliciting some empathy is far from sympathetic- She seemed very remote and vacant. Although I can't tell how much of the fault with this character lies with the script. The Kilroy character seemed to be an overgrown, immature, poseur and I could not see how any woman would find this attractive. The character of Mike kept apologizing to Carrie but I'm not sure what for. He seemed to be quite the forgiving guy. And even if he wasn't a quadriplegic, he still came across as the most mature and sympathetic amongst this love triangle. I did not read the book and after viewing this movie I wouldn't want to. I have to disagree with another reviewer's opinion that "the cast, without exception, was one-dimensional and juvenile" and that the movie "seemed like a teenybopper soap opera". I thought with the exception of Carrie and Kilroy, the casting was fairly good. The cast of young twenty-something's did not look like your typical O.C. or One Tree Hill gang and the acting chops were certainly a cut above your typical soap opera characters. The casting was probably the only good thing about the movie. And I didn't see this as a typical teenybopper soap opera, just your typical disappointing Wifetime -movie of the week.
