Review of Goodnight Mr Tom

I totally agree. The acting was just repulsive. Will's, to be exact. He was like he was totally reading off a script. No emotion. And I think that was a very important character to have the right actor. And he was hardly even an actor. His nightmares were so fake and poorly-acted that it was even laughable. Will was cheeky and quite unlikable, he made no character progress, stayed the same (which was basically the whole point and storyline of the book and movie-he flourishes with the help of Mister Tom). I'd like to warn anyone- IF YOU READ THE BOOK, DON'T SEE THE MOVIE- SPOILS IT ALL! This movie is, like, seriously underrated. It's slow-moving and boring. I couldn't care less of what happens next. It does, as you said, miss out on a lot of very important parts such as: -The character development. -The love Will shows for Tom. -Will, Tom and Zach's holiday in the sun -Spooky Cott and whatshisname that lives there -His mum was much much nicer, Tom was meaner and Will was bolder -Zach, Ginnie, Carrie, George and Will: all the times they hung out I bet I forgot a lot, but basically the movie is extremely overrated and pure crap.
