The Old Curiosity Shop (2007)
too divergent from novel
29 August 2013 - 4 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
I thought the film was fine and I'm glad I watched it, but...
I just finished reading the book and almost nothing is based on the book.
They skipped the donkey, Kit's wonderful patrons, the relations between all the actors, the sisters at the girl's school.
Kit spent over a week in prison, in the book.
The single gentlemen's relationship is secret for months.
What about the single gent's friends who help to get Kit free from prison?
What about kit getting his job by being so honest about coming back a week later to work off his shilling advance?
And what happened to Tom? He wasn't even in the film at all.
They should have just made a new title and said it was based on The Old Curiosity Shop.
