I haven't read the book, but could see Angie's "style" throughout. However. . . I did not like Genie Francis in the lead role. I have watched her on and off since I was a kid (my mother was a huge General Hospital fan and I watched it with her after school and continued -- was glued to my TV during the whole Luke and Laura thing back in 1980-81). I just don't think she's a very good actress; her delivery of lines seems stiff to me, just a recital of lines written by someone else rather than expressions of the heart as good actors can make it seem. (Yes, I know that's an awkwardly written sentence but I need to get back to work!)<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I thought the movie was great and am so pleased that such a worthwhile story made it onto the screen. Well done, Angie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-75877982654653133192007-12-09T18:24:00.000-05:002007-12-09T18:24:00.000-05:00Yay! I have more chances.

A lot of the Beth Yeshua crowd watched, too.<BR/><BR/>My husband sat through the whole movie and not only stayed awake (which is a major compliment), but he kept saying, "This is really good." After the movie ended I explained the analogy and he did a wonderfully "unmanly" thing, he . . . well . . . you get the idea.<BR/><BR/>How exciting! Our Angie! When is the next movie??Terri L.

I was really prepared to not like a male taking the place of the "witchy" TV reporter but in re-reading the book the other day, I don't think her character would have come off just right on TV. Also I realized they had less than 2 hours to tell the story. Only two things I took offense at (well just mildly.) As someone else said there were a couple curse words or so. The other - and I think you probably need to be a Baptist to have caught it. I can't remember just where but it was established in the movie that he was pastor of a little Baptist church. He said his own children had been christened in the church - as you know, we Baptists don't christen our babies - we have baby dedications which is really more for the parents. Otherwise any changes that were different from the book really didn't matter as far as the story goes and I think the changes made it flow better in the time limit of the movie.<BR/><BR/>I think it is a great movie for a family to watch together. I recommend it highly to one and all. Then, get the book and read it. I really liked the book better mostly because I'm a reader and not big on watching movies. I love to read and visualize the scenes in my mind. But this movie is one I will buy when it comes out on DVD just to have as a treasured keepsake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-88160810132044394942007-12-09T13:40:00.000-05:002007-12-09T13:40:00.000-05:00The movie was wonderful, Angie.

Now that I know the encore dates, I can update my post to encourage more people to watch it--and of course to buy the book as well. <BR/><BR/>A prisoner of hope,<BR/>MeganMegan DiMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114463270734382638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-2041110827136031552007-12-09T09:39:00.000-05:002007-12-09T09:39:00.000-05:00Yay rah for PJs.
