Review of The Shipping News (2001) by Elsa W — 03 Aug 2006

As usual, the book is so much better. Especially so in this case because the lead character is supposed to be a little ugly, while the movie has Spacey as the lead role, who is not bad looking. Some of the Newfoundland accents are way off too.

I don't think this movie captures the story nearly as well as the book can.
