    This is sort of sad, lol. I haven't read the book, so that might be the reason why I like the movie. But like I always say you have to remember this have to make this for the general population not just the book lovers, I know it sucks, but that's how most book adaptions are. I also think as a discussion board all opinions are appreciated and we need to learn not to get too heated, because It started off about talking about the movie and segwayed into insulting others who didn't think the same as how you were thinking. Let's try to class IMDB up.

      The book will make you LOVE the movie! I hate that book. Horrible, depressing, negative downer from start to finish. The aunts were so nasty, I wanted to kill them myself. Ugh!

        I really really loved the book but I think it would have been almost impossible for the movie to be faithful to the book but I appreciate the movie for what it was.

          I love this movie, always have. It's funny and scary at the same time. It's a great movie. I heard that the scene where they all get toasted and insult each other while passing around a bottle of tequila was real as Kidman brought a cheap bottle of tequila on set and they all imbibed before the scene was shot. It's a fun movie and one of my favorites.

            It wasn't a dreadful film, but it was somewhat slow. I thought the story was thin and wishy-washy. I guess it was meant as a "feel-good" movie.
            Having a bad actress like Sandra Bullock in your movie doesn't help.

              I don't agree with the general consensus that it jumped from humor to romance etc too much I do however think the FIRST HALF is brilliant, and then the rest of it focuses too much on the haunting etc. I would have preferred if the main plot did not focus on Gillian's abusive boyfriend and his ghost, I would have liked more spells or something in the guise of The Witches of Eastwick where they inadvertently cast spells on the town that go awry, but since it was trying to be faithful to the book, I can't fault the movie on that. Every time I watch it I think how much potential a TV show version would have.

                I just don't think it works as either a romance, comedy, drama or fantasy flick. The script has little wit. Whilst Sandra Bullock is the film's chief asset, I think I understand why it tanked so badly at the box office.

                  There's definitely some things to admire about this movie (most of the actresses were good), but overall, it's a cliche melodrama that's very uneven in tone.
                  You want something corny? You got it!

                      It started out interesting but I found the editing to be sloppy, mixing so many genres, rushed love story between Bullock and Quinn. I have a long list of things wrong with this movie, It's not the worst movie or anything but very disappointing and There's a good movie mixed into it but too many weak stuff holding it down. I'd rate it a 4/10
