[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the book and didn’t mind it. Haven’t watched the movie yet, but I was annoyed to see that they made Mahershala Ali’s character come to the door with his daughter, not wife. In the book, both were in their 60s, if I remember. Ok, make them both Ali’s age, I guess that’s fine. Instead, they replace her with a 20 year old. Middle aged Julia Roberts gets to be in the film, but they needed to rewrite the older black lady. Got it. [/quote]

Ooooh, that is irritating. And explains why that storyline was clunky. [/quote]

+1 the character of the daughter was a waste of space and seems the son was cast for his looks not his acting chops.[/quote]
Agree. The daughter of Mahershala Ali’s character was probably the worst actress of the bunch, or maybe she got the worst lines or worst direction. She sucked.

It would've been infinitely more interesting if that had been the wife instead. Did they switch to the daughter because they needed cheap sex appeal to sell the movie? Either way, a disappointing call.[/quote]
