I have read the book Sophie's World (in norwegian) and both the book and the film never go deep into the history of philosophy just bumps into it now and then. The worst part is that this is the good thing about the movie. (If it had dug deeper I'm afraid it would be boring too.) The acting (especially from the teenagers) don't work, thou Sophie get a "ok" grade. The sound-mixing is awful, etc etc. This is the most expensive movie in norwegian history but where the money went is really THE big philosophical question.
