    The book was so much better than the movie. Of course, books are almost always better. In this case, I don't feel like the movie captured any of the characters they way they should've. They didn't go into any detail about Jessie, the brother & should've focused more on Anna, the little sister. The movie was all about Kate. Plus, the ending being COMPLETELY different than the book turned me off. I would not recommend this movie to anyone that has read the book.

    By accident, I turned on this movie as it was playing on cable TV. I missed almost half of it, so unable to give an overall critique of it. But what I viewed, it was great! The two bros had such chemistry and their love for each other, kept you hoping Ellis would make it and that they would be there for each other and their lives change for the better. I think all the main characters should be given kudos for their acting! I am going to search for other movies made by Ethan Peck and Adam Rotherberg.
