I have not felt compelled to comment on a movie here in IMDb until reading the good comments and the fairly okay rating this inane Disney movie garnered. Granted, I have read the book first and totally love it. Love the theme of finding life in death and all that. AS an adaptation of the book, the movie was not only totally different but horrible. It bears no resemblance to the book, not just in the events that happened but thematically as well. The whole mood and theme of the book, which was what made it so compelling was lost and instead replaced by trite, bland clichés. Divorcing the movie from the book, it was still a pretty bad movie. The actors were horrible. I do not watch the O.C. and now I don't think I ever can since Mischa is so irritatingly wooden and untalented. Just a pretty face. The boys were not portrayed with eny depth at all. The story was so Disnefied its revolting.
