Book v. Film.


Revolutionary Road.

I almost always like the book version better than the movie adaption of novels, but Revolutionary Road was a surprising exception. The Richard Yates book was interesting, but honestly it was kind of a downer. The movie however, hit the plot out of the park. There could not have been 2 better actors chosen to play Frank and April Wheeler....the setting, the score, the costumes...everything was completely copacetic with the book. Leo and Kate nailed their roles and truly displayed the emotional range that the book implied. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT. Go rent this movie now, but be prepared .....its definitely an emotional drama.
