Title: Because of Winn Dixie
Review: I watched the movie "Because of Winn Dixie" as well as reading the book. I enjoyed both the book and the movie, and I was happy that the movie's plot did not stray far from the book. However, there were some differences in how the characters are portayed in each. For example, in the movie the landlord plays a much more prominent role; he does not want to allow Opal to keep Winn-Dixie and forces her to post signs around Naomi. Also, in the book, the pound was never called to Opal's house to take Winn-Dixie from her. The pet owner, Otis, is portrayed as quiet and brooding in the movie, while in the book I interpreted his character as a more simple and shy man. While I enjoyed theh book more than the movie, I found the movie to be entertaining as well as it gave a better insight into the area and town where the story of Opal and Winn-Dixie takes place.
Is the review positive or negative?
