At the time I read this book, I was the exact same age as Suzanne, my name is Suzanne, and I have been told by doctors all of my life to not have children as the pregnancy could kill me. Needless to say, I absolutely sobbed at the end of the book!!!!The movie was a pretty good adaptation of the book, although I didn't cry anywhere near as much as I did with the book. I agree with one of the other posters above, I wish the whole story was about Suzanne, as her life was definitely more interesting than Kate's.I find it hard to believe that Johnathon and Christina's marriage broke up not long after this movie - they had great chemistry!!(By the way, I'm now 40, still alive and, unlike Matt and Suzanne in the book/movie, my husband and I decided it was best that I do NOT ever fall pregnant).
... View MoreSuzanne's Diary for Nicholas is one of the best books I have ever read. I'm not much of a reader, but I read this book 3 times. I guess I should have known better than to expect the movie to be as good as the book.The acting was TERRIBLE. They left out some of the best parts of the book. The movie was horribly cheesy, and did not do the book justice. This could have been such an amazing movie. I'm not sure if the budget was low or what, but it was just so disappointing. Maybe someone else will try again with a better cast and a bigger budget. I hope they apologized to James Patterson after making it.I need to go re-read the book now just to get the movie out of my head!!
... View MoreI really liked that movie. It made me cry! I felt so bad for Matt because he lost his wife and his son, and the boy was only 4 months old! But I'm glad that Suzanne found someone who appreciated her even if the risk of having children is severe. I just felt so sad to see someone go through so much pain. And the fact that at the end of the diary he wrote how he'd rock Nick's cradle at night, though he wasn't in it because he was in the car accident with his mother. And I have to say that I love Christina Applegate, she's a terrific actress! I love all the movies and TV shows she's been in. And the actors in this film were so believable. The emotion they gave was so strong that I could feel the emotion that the character was portraying. I give this film a straight 10 out of 10 because I haven't seen a film that was made throughout the millennium that I've enjoyed this much.
... View MoreI found this movie to be one of the best on television in a long time. Christina Applegate is an excellent actress. She doesn't get the credit she deserves for her acting abilities. This was one of the movies where all the actors were good. Kathleen Rose Perkins is outstanding in her performance as Kate. The emotional scene where she is bed reading the journal and crying is one of scenes which should move her onto the big screen. I think she is going to be one of the major movie actresses in the future. The Lady has talent. The expressions in the eyes of Christina and Johnation told of real love. It came across in the scenes they had together. I didn't know they were real husband and wife until I read a bio on Christina before writing this comment. The movie is about love and loss and finding love again. It is a heart warming love story and finally one TV movie that does have an ending that will make you smile.
