I saw the movie at the cinema and bought the video. It is a very good family movie. But I'm disappointed that they didn't use the ORIGINAL BSC members from the 30 minute video series. I found that the characters in the 30 minute videos actually matched the descriptions of the books in looks and mannerisms more closely than in the full-length movie. My favourite character Stacey, Stacey in the full-length movie looked ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the real Stacey in the books. In fact, I though Bre Blair was Dawn at first! I understand that the original actors probably grew up in the few years before the full-length, so maybe that is why they couldn't use them, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed at the fact that the actors in the movie didn't look or feel right for the characters that they were supposed to be playing. Stacey didn't look like Stacey, Kristy had freckles in the movie (since when did Kristy in the books ever have freckles?). The actors just didn't look the parts. Apart from that, the story-lines were great, and the movie was very enjoyable.
