I had already seen it in the movie theater with my daughter Amanda .... absolutely BOO HOOed uncontrollably!!! Couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD. Hubby and I locked ourselves in our bedroom this weekend and watched it alone, late at night. We both boo hooed again. BEST MOVIE I've ever seen I believe! I think from what Deb says though, that I am glad I never read the book!
