i absolutely adore the book write by robin klein and so i be very excited when i hear that a movie base on the book be in the making . but i be severely disappointed with the movie when i do see it because it do not capture what i love about the book the absolutely ridiculously funny erica and the interesting way in which she view the world . from the start of the movie and i realise that thing weren not the same a i have imagine in the book . so and i just go along for the ride . it wasn not all that bad and i guess . miss belmont be totally different to what i have imagine her to be . i do not think she would be one to smoke and drink jean kittson and who play her and be hilarious . on it own and i think the movie and it actors or actresses in it do a good job and but ala and i be such a fan of the book ( one of my all time favourite book ) that i couldn not help but feel disappointed equal p .
