    Hall Bartlett's attempt to bring this beloved novel to the big screen misses the mark. I fully expect Pixar to take a stab at this someday, hopefully with much better results.

    I love the book but I couldn't see how they could make it into a film so I had to check it out, but I couldn't even finish it. It's not utterly worthless, but it just didn't do anything for me.

    Totally faithful to the original book and its deep philosophical and Metaphysical meaning.

    The movie hasn't the same impact the book does, but the photography and the Neil Diamond's songs made this a wonderful film.
