Movie Review

I watched Like Dandelion Dust last night and it was okay. This movie is based upon Karen Kingsbury's novel of the same name. I really do not like when the movie changes so much about the book. Bottom line on the story, woman is abused by husband and he is sent to prison for 7 years. She found out she was pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption by forging her husband's signature on the papers. Husband gets out of jail and she tells him about the baby, he wants his son back. Joey has been living the past 6 years with the only parents he has ever known, now they have to give him back because the adoption was illegal. The book and movie scenes of these exchanges were heart wrenching. I will say that Mira Sorvino (love her!) was excellent as Wendy, the battered wife. You will have to read the book or watch the movie to see how this all turns out. My recommendation, if you have not read the book, see the movie. If you have read the book, pass on the movie, the book was better. Hubby started to watch the movie with me and then left, too depressing he said. Enough said.
