Just saw this with my wife and daughter. I enjoyed it very much. It is a very touching story. I thought the actors portrayed the character and personalities really well. Unlike some of the user critics here, I did not find any of the characters to be "one-dimensional." I also did not feel that the pacing was "slow" or "boring." I mean, it's not a Marvel action movie film, you know.
I haven't read the book, but my wife, a serious reader, says that it was a very good modernization of the story. Sometimes modernizing a well known story doesn't pull off successfully. Mostly failures, as a matter of fact, in my opinion.
This main story line is about Jo coming to terms with life and her change of that view. It was an interesting journey.
I give it 8 stars plus a couple extra. It deserves far greater than the silly 4.8 rating it has now.
