i be so excited when i read a movie be be make of this great book . i really want to like this movie . very little time be spend on dan actual journey . the premonition of see socrates be miss and so dan have no reason to be intrigue at the service station . what happen to the teaching of the importance of humor . and why the gratuitous shower scene . why do dan always look angry especially after his enlightenment whenever he approach an apparatus . he be suppose to be at peace ( even if his message to his coach be an i will show you which defeat the purpose of release the ego ) . too much screen time of guy with there shirt off . a an after school tv movie it be terrific while a a movie of this very special book a major disappointment .
