Dont Bother - get the book!
8 September 2002
~~Lucy Sullivan goes to see a fortune teller who predicts that Lucy will be married in the next year. Who will Lucy end up with? ~~

I looked forward to seeing this as I had read the book and loved it. However I was seriously disappointed with this effort.

Major characterisation changes were made such as: Lucy changed from freckly with curly hair to tall, blonde and skinny. Megan is changed from Australian to cockney, Gus from Irish to Scottish, Charlotte from Northern to Londoner......the list goes on and on.

All these changes ruin what was a very funny story, many of the best parts of the book have to be missed out completely (such as a very funny exchange between Gus and Karen based on nationality nicknames).

My advice is don't bother to watch this rubbish - buy the book and proceed to wet your knickers laughing!
