Really? I always find this interesting--the way people interpret a book. I totally saw Becky's parents coming from a more lower-middle class background, and I thought they portrayed her parents perfectly in the movie.
I wish they would have put Tom (and his situation) and his parents in the movie.

I tend to like best whichever I've been exposed to first, the book or the movie. I guess I get these ideas of what the characters are, what they look like, etc. from the books and then I'm disappointed when it doesn't match up on screen. I liked Isla Fisher for Becky but that was about it.
I wonder if sequels will follow?

You know it will. I would think they'd do Shopaholic Ties the Knot next, but who knows.

I mean besides having the same names for characters, and some of the same situations the movie & book are really different. If you are expecting to read a lot of the same things that were in the movie, then you'll be disappointed.

Oh I mean that you shouldn't give the book a try, you should--it's a great book. But the movie was a combination of 2 books, and just little bits & pieces of both.
I'm used to movies being different than the book, but I just feel that this movie was WAAAAAY different than the book.
