Title: Not as good as the book Review: I know you can't take a book as long as this one and include every single scene.But, they could have at least tried to make some attempt to preserve what was so good about the book in the first place.The story in the book is much more complicated and interesting than in the movie. It's as if they took an orange, scooped out all the pulp, poured in water, high fructose corn syrup and artificial orange flavour and said, here you go, here's an orange.They made too many cuts to the story that didn't add to the plot and added things that weren't in the book that did nothing to move the story along.Too many unnessasary changes just makes for a messy movie which is confusing to all who haven't read the book.I say, just skip this movie. It's good in terms of visuals, but when it comes to standing up to the book, it fails. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Disappointing Review: Sonny is a true guitar god, and Outward Bound is a minor masterpiece, which is why I was shocked at how weak the songwriting was on this CD. It's hard to fathom why others rated it so highly. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Cold Turkey Review: Magical Realism. It's a peculiar literary genre that our book club seemingly likes to include in our book bucket------we have read three others: Senior Vivo, The Cave, and One Hundred Years of Solitude-----but, ultimately, not one that we particularly enjoy. Like Water for Chocolate was no exception. While some of our sixteen reviewers did appreciate the author's attempt at cooking up hot passions, most felt that what we got was a contrived recipe for so much cold turkey. Is the review positive or negative?
