I wanted to see how the authors work together.<br /><br />Jenny - True. In the book, the ex is a much more tolerable person and he wouldn't do something like that to her. It DID seem a bit out of character though.<br /><br />Jenners - I was surprised that I liked the movie better -- especially as it's less angsty (which is a teen requisite). My husband strongly dislikes Michael Cera but I like him!<br /><br />Al - Yes, my curry has no chilli in it at all -- or dairy, for that matter. It has apples and onions instead of potatoes. I'll have to write it up for you so that you can see!<br /><br />3m - Try the movie first then. I think you will like it!<br /><br />Brett - Totally! It does fit in with those movies. The "completely unsupervised and over-the-top outing" is the best!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-6391610380137191732011-01-23T14:07:55.332-08:002011-01-23T14:07:55.332-08:00This was a cute film!
