The casting for this movie was terrible. The only two characters who fit the book were Ranger and Lula. It would help if someone in casting had actually read the book before casting Stephanie or Joe because both actors did not do justice to the roles. I have never been so disappointed in any movie. Then movie was only 91 minutes long and I think they could have added another 30 minutes to the movie to make it more like the book. The scene where Stephanie found Lula was no where close the the book and the ending was so sloppy. I can see leaving out some parts but to just change the way the book ends is just wrong. This is a movie if done well, could have watched over and over but I wouldn't waste my time to see this one again.
