Title: What a disappointment
Review: Wow, I was so crushed at the end of this film. I ADORE the novel, by Stephen Mccauley and thought that Wendy Wasserstein would do his work justice. All that remains are that the characters are still named George and Nina and Nina is pregnant and wants George to help her raise the baby. Gone is Doran, the bane of George's existance at nursery school, and Paul isn't from Vermont, and his fiesty mother is gone also. In her place is Nigle Hawthorne, doing his damned best with a pointless character. Also, the wonderful Alison Janney is in here in a role that was also NOT in the book. Let's not even start about how they took poor downtrodden Howard and made him and obnoixious odious little man.Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd are perfectly cast and do their best to make something out of basically nothing. Shame on Ms. Wasserstein for her butchery to Mr. MCCauleys novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
