i'm about to read the book for the third time.

i like how the movie poster is reminiscent of the original green covered edition of the book (which is the one i have)

Really liked this movie surprised it wasn't talked about more

DarkSovereignty · 12-12-2012, 10:50 AM

yeah I really liked this movie, fantastic performances all around, some nice cinematography too.

Loved the book, loved the movie. You're definitely gonna see this on lots of end of year lists. I know it's on mine lol. It didn't break any BO records (limited releases throughout) but it was a hit with fans and audiences alike. So glad, could have easily been ruined.

I think the DVD comes out in January if I'm not mistaken.

Blackman · 12-12-2012, 11:40 AM

yeah I saw it yesterday. It was really good

TheAQU4M4N · 12-12-2012, 12:34 PM

is this movie floating on the net yet? trying to find it because they are not playing at any theaters near me.

DarkSovereignty · 12-12-2012, 12:40 PM

it'll probably hit dvd/bluray by January or February.

DarthSkywalker · 12-12-2012, 02:43 PM

I love, love, love this film. Went to see it for Emma, who was great, and ended up loving every last bit of it. Ended up seeing it 4 times in theaters.

It hits blu-ray and DVD on Feb. 12.

ComicChick · 12-13-2012, 12:23 AM

i've read the book 3 times and i've seen it once because it was so far away to see and in select theatres.

loved Lerman as Charlie and Ezra as Patrick. I wish they had more of the storylines with Charlie's family (ie: parents, the Mia storyline, grandpa)

i know they couldn't put it all in there, but i wouldve liked to see more family stuff

DarthSkywalker · 12-13-2012, 12:51 AM

I think they could of got more in there. It is a relatively short film. I definitely wanted more with his sister. When he calls her at the end, the concern is written all over her face. It is kind of heartbreaking.

ComicChick · 12-13-2012, 01:15 AM

i really liked that scene albeit different from the book. but yeah, he has great storylines in the book with his sis and they were pretty much ignored, which is a shame i think it couldve made the film even better

DarthSkywalker · 12-13-2012, 02:27 AM

After seeing the film I start looking up the original book to see what might have been cut, and yeah there seemed to be a lot of material that would have worked great in the context of the film that was made.

antsman41 · 12-13-2012, 02:17 PM

This was beautiful... my favorite of the year.

Weird, that my last four yearly favs are;

'09 (500) Days Of Summer
'10 Blue Valentine
'11 The Beginners
'12 Perks Of Being A Wallflower

...all very honest films about life, love, and friendships.

DarthSkywalker · 12-13-2012, 02:28 PM

I also love The Beginners. I don't know if Perks is my #1, but it is definitely in my top 5 and one of my favorites I know I will keep going back to.

kickass · 12-13-2012, 10:03 PM

I read that a lot of the stuff left out of the movie was actually filmed but just didn't make the cut because it made the film TOO depressing. And I read they'll be the deleted scenes on the DVD. So yay lol!

ComicChick · 12-14-2012, 08:36 PM

i really hope they have the deleted scenes
