It was an inherently good movie. It portrayed Alex' comedic personality well and Henry's wittiness was perfect.
But I feel it missed details that I personally feel was very important to the storyline in the book. Such as the fact that Alex' parents were divorced and how this effected Ellen's campaign. Also the importance of the thanksgiving scene were they had a family dinner and how it showed something that had effected Alex a lot.
I missed June as well and a big part of the plot went away with her. The whole magazine thing and the White House trio wasn't there and I could feel it missing.
The portrayal of Nora felt weird as well. As much as I like the actor there was something off. Maybe it's just my own personal picture I got from her in the book that was wrong but I felt the movie character didn't show how busy and clever Nora is. I also missed the whole percentage thing with Alex when he came out to her.
And the fact that they removed the whole crisis he had where he called is old friend and figured out who he was also bothered me.
But I understand it's hard to put so many details into a 2 hour movie and the plot can get a bit crowded but I feel it could have been a better adaptation of the book. Other than that I liked it and I got a good laugh from it.
