This movie was wonderful. The story line is a bit choppy in the movie so having read the book will help. Everyone has their own opinions of course, there were a few things I hated about the movie and many things I loved. The voice of Oliver in the copy I watched seemed dubbed over and was horrible in parts. Thats the only thing I really didn't like. This movie has some great songs in it and the story is moving. I would strongly recommend seeing this film. A note for anyone who has seen the musical, If memory serves me 2 songs are left out of the movie. "Thats your Funeral" being one of them.
