I had to write this after reading the ridiculous bad reviews that this movie received. I am a 46 year old working mother who should have better things to do, but when my ten year old started reading the books I felt a need to follow suit. I thoroughly enjoyed both the books and the movie. I just can't understand why people need to act so pompous and arrogant when they write a bad review for a movie that was never meant to be an Academy Award winner. These intellectuals show both their bias and their ignorance. This movie was meant for the millions of people out there who enjoyed the books and except for a view variations it succeeded more than admirably.
