I loved watching this film for many reasons but the best reason is that it was a feel good movie.
I have also listed more reasons why I thought it was a good one:
It's Robert Redford.
It's Nick Bolte.
Its funny in quite a lot of ways.
It's down to earth.
It's also inspiring!
Here's a list of why it won't match up to the book:
These guys are in there 70s when the film was made. In the book they are in their 40's (speaking for Bill).
Also nothing ever matches up to the book, so what chance is there?! (Can I get an Amen?)
In response to the resounding 'why is it important that this film was made?' that I regularly hear shouted out from street windows as I walk by...
It's important because these producers wanted it to be made. I can now see why it's important to produce a film if you have the idea and will to produce it. This may seem obvious but what I mean is that if these guys didn't produce a Bill Bryson movie, who is to say that anyone else definitely will (although Bill's books are surely worth it).
If these guys didn't make the adaption now then it would have gone by to nothing and it's a blessing that they did make it.
Hope you like it!
