Loved the Movie, Loved the Book (in that order!)
|
It must have made a HUGE difference for me that I saw the movie before I read the book - and that I have 3 little girls - based on some of the other reviews for this movie. I really enjoyed the movie (as did my girls - they watch it over and over). It was just fun and sweet. I really enjoyed the "modern" and comic spin on the fairy tale, medieval setting.
I couldn't wait to read the book. I will admit I was a little bit confused when the storyline turned out to be different, but as I continued to read I really started to appreciate the common themes between movie and book - and how they'd chosen to portray them in the movie. I also appreciated the book on its own. I was glad that it was different from the movie. It was the same yet different in a way that made it fun to read. I didn't already know how everything was going to go or how it would end - except in a general "happy ending" sense.
After reading the book I could also understand why they chose to put the story on screen the way they had. From my perspective anyway, I think to put it onscreen exactly as in the book would have taken some of the magic out of it. It was definitely magical and just right in the book but in the movie I really think it would have come across as cliche - just another telling of the Cinderella story. Instead, the movie honored the themes of the book while stepping things up for the screen - spinning the story differently and making them bigger than life/outlandish (if you will).
Highly entertaining and I'd recommend book and movie to anyone - especially if you have little girls. Just remember - to get the best out of both - watch the film first! |
