Finally, book vs muviee..

Just came back from the Vue. Yup.. just as i suspected.. the movie is totally different. For a start, the whole story is based in New York already?! (including her parents?!!).. and I'm not approving Luke Brandon too.. he is wayyy more attractive than that guy who played him in that movie (but then again, that's on MY imagination.. AND it was like yearsss ago when I first read 'the secret dreamworld of a shopaholics'..I'm sure Sophie wouldda alter bit here and there to fit the big screen..hehehehe).

And obviously you can't expect too much for a cramped up 2 hours movie with details written of 100 pages of book (err.. i don't count the helaian..hiks). So.. am sorry to say, if I'm a bit biased to favour the book storyline than the movie.. you gotta see it yourself to make your own verdict!

So, here is what I gathered; The movie start at a slow pace, with a few tak-jadi-comedy-scene and finished off with a happy-ever-after endings with more funny scene (this time makin menjadik) where everyone smile and dance joyfully. It has got 65-35% of similarity to the book storyline..(i think?!). And I'm afraid I can't elaborate more, as it is not fair to many of my friends in Malaysia- still waiting for the movie to break in. And.. talking about the cinema.. I have never been to a such an empty cinema before, except when we went to see 'Taxi III'-i mean more like an intro to Taxi III coz we left few minutes after sebab terlalu bosan! that was wayy back in Doha (and err.. panggung wayang Cine di Kulim mungkin tak masuk dalam kategori ini, hehe ). It was so quiet that you could actually run around from one corner to another anytime during the movie without irritating anyone! There were only 9 viewers, including us (yes.. I counted!)And at the end of the movie, when Becky got her man, and overcome her debts -all those 4 girls in front of us cheering and clapping their hand gleefully.. yela, dah cinema kosong, obviously you are allowed to buat-macam-rumah-sendiri. I think it is more to a home-dvd kind of a movie, rather than the big cinema type. But anyway, good job for trying! Cube lagi di lain kali.. ;)

And then again, I still enjoy it very much.. dunno about Ai.. he seems confused to why-he-agreed-to-be-dragged-along to see such a typical chick flicks! hahahaha..
