Possibly the closest film adaptations of a book I’ve seen that also had an improvement. The book, although an excellent read, seemed a little fragmented at times when it came to the flashbacks. The movie showed the “ghosts” actually viewing the flashbacks helping to integrate the past into the story more effectively than the book did. One thing that was a little unfortunate and seemed a bit awkward was the lack of reference to Eddie’s love of dance that was so important in the book. Showing him dance in heaven at his wedding lacked the same impact because, unless the viewer had also read the book, he/she doesn't know that by dancing in heaven, Eddie is regaining the one ability he loved the most while he was on earth. I highly recommend both the movie and the book.
