Title: Poor Adaptation,,,not a true story!!!
Review: This movie is based on the book Banner in the Sky by James Rasmey Ullman. It is not based on a true story. In fact, the author goes to great lengths to point out that it is a FICTIONAL story before you even begin reading. I have taught the novel every year since 1998. I have read it over and over. It is very much fiction. That being said, this movie is a Disneyized version of a novel, and they follow the story about as well as their other adaptations; which is to say, not at all. The names are slightly the same, and there's a mountain in it, but that's pretty much where the similarities end.
Is the review positive or negative?
