Comment and Reminder
Being a big fan of the book I finally got around to watching this movie, I enjoyed it but felt they rushed his early childhood to much, and the absence of Question and the great scene in the hospital with the dying girl are (sadly) both missing from the movie.
Anyway, don't forget to go to setup on the DVD and play the commentary by Frank McCourt. It's nice to hear his take on things, there are no big surprises in the commentary however, but still - a treat to hear him talk about it!
