REVIEW:
Even more so now, I need to read the book.
Even more so now, I need to read the book.
The emotions this movie raised in me were powerful. I laughed and I cried. I was pulled into this self-discovery adventure to see Cheryl get to the end.
It did remind me of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, or even, The Search for Happiness, only with a female lead.
It was an amazing movie though. Without a doubt. I can just imagine how fantastic the book is, since they are generally better than the movie. That is what propels me to read it still.
5/5
