Book to Film Adaptations – Mixed Opinions!

Most films in the cinemas seem to be either Disney movies with real people; the ups and downs of an 80’s rockstar or book adaptations. And some of them honestly look so good! Main word: some of them. Here are some of the upcoming book adaptions that (I think) look the best and worst. Let me know if you’ve seen any of them or have any other suggestions!

MY WORST PICK

P.S, I still love you came out on Netflix on Valentine’s Day (of course) and I was NOT a fan. I wasn’t blown away by the first book and this honestly just felt like a part 2 of that first film rather than a second one. Oh My God. Lara Jean. She has the best life, Noah Centino as a boyfriend and apparently no problems that aren’t boy related. So when a mysterious stranger from her past (who has also changed race since the first film?) turns up with a massive crush on her from primary school, can she just ignore him? Oh no. This is Lara Jean we’re talking about. And so begins the supposedly-funny misadventures of a girl who goes through a surprising amount of boys for someone who has never dated before…

MY SLIGHTLY CONFUSED PICK

So. Ever since All the Bright Places came out in 2015, A) I have been massively fan girling over it and B) there has been talk of a movie. For literally 5 years. But, I am now delighted to announce that it is going to be a film with Ellie Fanning (woo) and Justice Smith! However, I feel like some people will just watch the film, love it, obsess over it…. and not even have heard of the book. The outrage. Also, if the film turns out to be awful, the book will loose all self-respect; *cough* After *cough*. But. It comes out on the 28th February so we’ll have to wait and see. I will be interested to see if it is pure genius, or turns into another ‘Hardin Scott’ cow pat.

MY TOP PICK

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS! Little Women is absolutely amazing. It’s funny, modern and so feminist! I love Emma Watson and Saoirse Ronan… and Timothée Chalamet is in it so definitely a must see 😉 I have to admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of the book (I didn’t understand why all the girls had to get married?) but this remake is so great. The plot seemed totally remade and all my friends who had seen it loved it too. What do you think?
