Can I say 'Hated it' without offending any … - hope so because I think I am about to spoil all the fun …. I totally did not like the movie. I liked the scenery and the actors as individuals, but as one cast I don't think it was all that. I said I would read the book before the movie but I got caught up in other stuff, so I can't really compare it but I could have swore Zora had way more seizures then the only 'one' they showed. And though Wesley and Sanaa are great actors they did not have the chemistry I expected; 2gether they just did not make the cut. I thought Zora looked to young and Franklin too old. I did enjoy seeing them play scrabble and fall in love initially and I did love the refrigerator scene, but the way they got into it was so fake, maybe if Franklin was say Morris Chestnut (taller than Wesley, and more buff then Wesley, and younger than Wesley) maybe then I would have been more into it. Well, that's just my opinion... I am still going to try and reread the book and see where the movie deviated …those that can do the comparisons please chime in Please start with Zora's age, her profession and why she was moving to Brooklyn. thanks!

Added: I want this info from the books perspective.
