*This film is the girls answer to Stand By Me*

I saw the 1996 version because, I LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE! I read the book because I liked the movie! (I do things back wards, if I like the movie I read the book,while most other people do the opposite.) I liked the book because it gave better backstory to certain characters and was more dramatic!

I liked the 1996 film because Angelina Jolie was in it was set in a contemporary setting and was more upbeat! The pros of the 2014 film,

It is a lot closer to the book, except two or three scenes that were in the weren't in the film, (which may be a good thing) The cons of the 2014 film, Goldie is a lot less likable in the 2014 film vs the 1996 film, the tattoo scene in the 2014 film is non-nude.

The 2014 film is a bit more depressing and drawn out than the 1996 film.

If you want a modern upbeat quick feature w/ nudity! watch the 1996 film.

if you want a story to play on you're emotions I recommend the 2014 film.

the 1996 version is re-watchable and you walk away from it empowered and uplifted the 2014 isn't as re-watchable and leaves you feeling emotionally drained and a bit depressed!

I also have the soundtrack to the 1996 film!

this is no-way relation to the 1987 film of the same name!
