Movie Adaptations - Good or Bad?

How about good and bad?

The Good  -

The Devil Wears Prada; Good, although not similiar to the novel in many ways, I still loved it! I see them as completely different things and they're not really an adaptation pair to me, but I loved the differences and both the movie and the book have a heartfelt place on my shelf!

Sex and The City - Obviously! The Series was amazing, the first movie loveable and the sequel, heart stopping! I have watched the series twice over, the first movie about 4 times and the second atleast 3 so far... They are not highly similiar to the book, but I just don't care!



The Bad -

Confessions of a Shopaholic; It could be only because I wanted more, or expected more from this one, the book I adored, the sequel to the book I adored... The movie - hmmm still own it, still have it in a cupboard, and only watch it because Isla Fisher is super cute and the fashions are cute too!


The Can't Wait List -

20 Times a Lady / Whats your Number; soon to be released, I am counting the days however many there may be because I LOVED this book, it was the perfect second release to Karyn Bosnaks first novel - Save Karyn, 20 Times a Lady was just as hilarious and silly and cute as the first novel.. the movie will have Ana Faris and Chris Evans in it, perfect! Can't wait!!!

Something Borrowed + Something Blue; The book duo by Emily Giffin - I came accross the first in an airport in London, fantastic find, have actually read it twice, so I have now ordered Something Blue on Fishpond and can't wait to read it twice! Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin will play the leading ladies in the movie adaptation and wow, what a match for the characters in the book - Release Date: 2011, c'mon! I need something more concrete than that, I'm so darn excited!
