An earnest, saccharine adaptation

Jake Coyle

The Associated Press

"In the book, the bees have a metaphorical significance throughout, but here, they're really just some bees in the backyard. Instead, all we have is sugary sweet ideas about life."

"Pretty good film. Part of the plot far-fetched. Good acting. Better for rental. 2 3/4 Stars. "

"A charming movie, all the acting is fabulous. Definately a chick flick. I thought the movie was better than the book. Bring lots of kleenex!"
