The movie is based on a YA novel, and there was sooo much left out. Of course with any adaptation, there's going to be some parts left out due to time constraints and the like... but this felt like they left out any emotional depth to the plot. The main character in the novel was funny, quirky, nerdy, and likeable. This character in the film was boring. Even the sidekicks to Henry had some really amazing qualities in the novel but completely fell flat in the film. The climax was similar in both plots, but the movie didn't really have any stakes to the climax. We were concerned for Grace's character for a literal 15 seconds before she was deemed safe and sound. Maybe this film could use some reshoots, or a re-edit.
