I wanted to like this movie much more than I did. I think Spike Jones and Dave Eggers did a good job of making a perfect book into a movie, but I couldn't really get absorbed in the story. It was a very visually stunning movie, yet not engaging.

Shawn really wanted to see this but I hemmed and hawed. we ended up not seeing it. I did read the book to the class the day it came out so they could be clear about how good the original happens to be!
