Took the kids to see this yesterday. The whole family has read the book and seen the first movie that came out years ago. It's a great film. Oprah, Chris Pine and Storm Ried really rocked this out. Disney did a disservice to the theme of this story. They left out the anti-Collectivism and anti-equality messages the book conveys. The individualism piece was left intact and served the viewer well. Movies can't be done by the books completely, otherwise you have a long and drawn out miniseries. I think this movie will be a great springboard to read the book, if the viewer hasn't read it. I score this one 31/2 out of 5 stars.
