Title: Disappointing...
Product review: I grew up reading "My Side of the Mountain," and loved the book so much that still, to this day, I still revisit Sam and Frightful and the charming illustrations within its pages. When I found out there was a movie, I bought it...and was immediately disenchanted with it.Perhaps, had I not read any of the "Mountain" trilogy, I might have been more kindly disposed towards it, but I found the changes made to the story unnecessary and, in places, outright bizarre and upsetting. It contained nothing of the charm and magic of the original story. It was as if the filmmakers decided to use the name of the book to draw in its fan base and just did their own movie that had very little to do with the original. I can barely consider this an adaptation, what with the fundamental changes to the material!If you are expecting a faithful rendering of Sam's adventures, don't look here.
