I was really looking forward to this movie adaptation, as the book is actually quite good. However, the first strike against this film is the fact that it has its female lead narrating, and giving a play-by-play of every single thing as it happens. The viewer should be able to intuit the feelings of the actor based on their performance ,not hear juvenile inner monologues about how situations have made them react. The false bravado she displays doesn't exactly lend credibility to the movie, or her role in it. Ross Butler is the only person in this entire production that doesn't over act or make you under value him as an actor. It was OK, but it could've been so much better. Perhaps a different lead actress, one who didn't constantly pull faces,would've made all the difference .

I'd first like to say,that as an avid reader of the book series,I was predisposed to hate the tv show. However, the 1st season hooked me. Not only was the casting perfect,and the acting brilliant,the writing was up to snuff. When the final 6 episodes were aired,I was psyched. This was what I had been waiting for for nearly a decade. I know it's a tv show, but dear lord! I honestly dont know what to say about how terrible the final season was. What was a phenomenal achievement for so many seasons,will end up going down in history as the worst ending of a beloved show...ever.
