As some may or may not know, I was totally and completely psyched about Sophie Kinsella's Can you keep a secret? being turned into a movie. Can you keep a secret? was the first novel of hers that I read so I was expecting great things here.
First things first, these are the things I loved. The cast is awesome. Alexandra Daddario did great as our Emma.
Tyler Hoechlin plays Jack. Yes, folks. We get to stare at his face for over an hour. I am not complaining.
The Soundtrack was solid. Whoever was in charge of wardrobe needs to come into my life. And, they filmed in NYC, People!
The only problem here is the script. They cut out Emma's parents and cousin. While I get that they were trying to save time, I couldn't help feeling that they got rid of one of the key plot points. It's Emma's insecurities with her family that is one of her biggest secrets. Also we never see the company picnic. That Picnic is a major turning point in the novel. It's a shame they wrote that out.
All in all, I did enjoy this film and I will probably watch it a few hundred times. But, I just got to say it, Folks. The book was better.
