Seduction & Snacks (2021)
My favorite book to movie adaptation! They nailed it!!!
5 ++++++++ Stars
I absolutely love Passionflix's movie adaptation of Tara Sivec's Seduction and Snacks! I can honestly say this is by far one of my favorite book to movie adaptations to date, and that includes adaptations that went to the big screen. I would've loved to have seen Seduction and Snacks on the big screen.
The casting was spot on, I never imagined they could get a perfect Drew and Jenny but they did. And the boy who played Gavin was adorably perfect. Passionflix was able to stay true to the personalities of Tara's larger than life, quirky, hilarious and at times crude characters that so many readers fell in love with.
The town, the Seduction and Snacks shop, everything was just how I pictured it in my mind while reading the books.
Now I can't decide if I immediately want to watch it again or reread both series again.
I do believe that people who have never read the books will enjoy it too!
Bravo Tara, the S&S cast and Passionflix!
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Great ADAPTATION of the book...Haters gonna hate!
I loved the book to movie adaptation; overall the movie is basically just like the book. There were a few scenes that had to be left out but there was no way they could translate the entire book into the movie. The sex scenes were tastefully done. IMO if people like the book they will like the movie. Dakota did an amazing job of portraying every facet of Ana. Dakota did an amazing job of portraying every facet of Ana. I am a huge Charlie Hunnam fan, actually he is the reason I finally gave in and read the books, I was upset when he backed out and doubted at first Jamie being cast
HOWEVER after seeing the moving, Jamie is Christian, he brought the stiff, standoffish, cold, older in manner than years Christian from book1 to life, I could see his struggles with realizing he actually felt real emotions about a woman, the struggle with changing for her, staying away from her. Honestly, after watching the movie I can't see anyone else as Christian or Ana. In book 2, Fifty Shades Darker, Christian really starts to evolve and we learn more about him and I can't wait to see Jamie bring FSD Christian to life. The ending had me in tears and I went home and immediately started a re-read of book 2 Fifty Shades Darker. Applause to Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Kelly Marcel, EL James and the entire cast and crew for bring Fifty Shades of Grey to life in such a splendid, classy, funny, sexy manner!!! Bring on Darker and Freed!!!!
