"Cinema four girl, hope you brought your tissues"
Laura and I looked at each other. We knew we were domed.

I cry really easily in movies. An emotional milk ad could make me tear up, so I had forgone mascara for the occasion and deliberately gone to the latest screening to hide our teary eyes, better safe than sorry, right?
There were so, so many tears.
If you don't know the story, or every the name, you have probably been using the Internet wrong for about a year, and if you haven't read it or seen the film, I will try my best to avoid spoilers (but if you haven't already guess, the ending isn't the sunshine and rainbows you are hoping for)
I thought the film was beautifully done. it captured the essence of the book. The essence of this book, I think was salted caramel. Something that could be sickly sweet if it weren't for the sharp edge to it. The salt in the film (and the book) is the sassy wit and bitter attempt at reality. The sarcasm that flows between all the characters is what helps take what is ultimately a seriously depressing tale into a funny, sad story.
I doubt that there will be many fans that are disappointed (there are always some, but we can just ignore them) but I will most certainly go through the tears to watch it agian.
