Title: Skip this movie, unless you've read the book...
Review: Reviews of movies based in whole or in part on novels are replete with warnings like, "Not nearly as good as the book," or "Don't waste your time on the movie, just read the book." In the case of Hearts in Atlantis, the movie just doesn't make sense if you haven't read the book. From a performance standpoint, and as a "coming of age" story, the movie gets 4 stars. But for the story, where it would be nice to know about the Breakers and Low Men in Yellow Suits, the movie absolutely fails. Folks, there's a whole lot more to the story than what you get with this movie... so, you might want to skip this one, unless you've read the book.
