Movies not like the book are still worth watching!
If you are one who doesn't change and you have read The Westing Game (which I highly recommend) you may not like this video. The movie varies from the book in a few ways, most of which are character names, descriptions, & occupations. I read The Westing Game to my Sixth graders (even my non-readers got excited about the author Ellen Raskin). We then watched the video. I had them make two columns on a piece of paper and while watching the video they compared the book to the video. They noticed many of the differences that I did and even more. They even wanted to watch it again!

I especially liked the cast- recognizing Ellen Burstein and the man from the TV show, My Favorite Martian, in this low budget movie was a treat. I enjoyed the smartness of the main character who solves the mystery. I have shown this movie 2 years now and will continue to do so believing that it is good for the children (and adults alike) to get out of the thinking that all movies should be exactly like the book. Or that if it's not it's not worth our time. After all if this was the case who'd read anymore?

Excellent Film
What a great movie! I must say, those two skateboarders in the transition scene with Ashley riding her bike through the park were fantastic. Very realistic. It's really something when models such as them can do more than just look pretty. And their skateboarding skills are top notch. I highly recommend this film. Go see it!
