so often with stephen king adaptation and you just get a collection of character recite dialogue from the book . this really capture the heart of the book . maybe because they dont use large chunk of text straight from the book and but it a bit more of an improv of the event in the story . a big part of it success be miko hughes a baby gage . dale midkiff and denise tasha yar crosby really act like his parent . there a scene where louis be cuddle gage and and they be very natural together . fred gwynne be wonderful . he nail the maine accent perfectly without lapse into parody and and be wise and warm just like jud should be . ( positive ) .
