I was also so excited about seeing this film. I read the book and loved it so I had high expectations for the film. When I watched the film I was so disappointed with the whole thing. What was the point off changing the story? The book was excellent. The dad's not supposed to talk to Pat. The dad's supposed to treat the mum really badly. What about the time problem, where Pat thinks he's been gone for a couple of months though t had been 4 years? That was a huge part of the story just left out! Also Nikki's not supposed to be part of the plan. And why does Danny keep getting out of the "bad place" . Also there dance is supposed to be amazing and be against kids without scoring. Etc... why change a great story and make a such a rubbish film. The few stars I gave it are for the acting.
