This movie is the altered decrepit version of a great book. I understand the need to omit or make some minor changes for the big screen. This though, is outright trash. I wish someone would redo this and make it the way the book was written. The characters are similar but the dialogue, timeline and details that made the book a I read in two days are all realigned and deformed. Instead of a three course meal, they put all the food in a blender and asked people to eat it. The casting of DeNiro did not allow them to keep him with the limited dialogue that exists in the book. The ending was so far removed and not just in the detail of the performance, the feel and reason they danced. How they reconnected. The painful and awkward communication between Pat and Nikki. The more I watched the more aggravated I became. An outright crime. If you haven't read the book but watched this movie, please go read it.
