The acting in the movie was enjoyable, and they all did an excellent job of portraying their character as was int he book. However, there were several MAJOR things that bothered me about the movie in relation to the book. First off, they cut Bridgets twin (perry) , and Effie Lenas sister who plays a very important role in understanding the dynamics of the second and third books (as well as the first). There didn't seem to be a real reason as to why they did this.

Also, and i may have just forgotten this from the book, they had Eric stop by Bridget's house after camp. I don't remember this happening, but i did read the book almost 3 years ago.

one REALLY big thing that i don't understand why they did at ALL, was make Kostos' family and Lena's family not like each other. in the book their grandparents were forcing them together (more her then him *wink*) in the movie, they have the grandparents hating each other. Why?

over all it was enjoyable, and the girls were cast very well. if you haven't seen the movie you'll probably enjoy it more, but it was enjoyable either way.
