Peter Travers Rolling Stone

All this is conveyed in the remarkable performance of Ronan, an Oscar nominee for Atonement. She and Tucci -- magnificent as a man of uncontrollable impulses -- help Jackson cut a path to a humanity that supersedes life and death. show more

The Lovely Bones is difficult viewing, a meticulously crafted experiment that, it turns out, wasn't worth it. show more

Some books are not meant to be adapted to the big screen. Alice Sebold's best-selling The Lovely Bones falls into that category. show more

I wanna say first the movie was good in how all the graphics and the overall picture was. As for the plot and movie it self I am a little disappointed. I agree with moviegoer9999 he says it good here how I feel and I also agree with hakukoru. Now I have read the book and the book was way better than the movie. The movie was totally off key with the book. The movie left things out that were in the book and I think thay should have been in the movie. I was watching the movie and when susie dies I was waiting to see the part where her mom has the affair with the detective on the case but it never happened, it should have been there b/c it showed how she was feeling in the death of her sister. Also in the book the ending is totally different Mr. Harvey doesn't die and he is caught and susie's parents find out what really happened to her. they should have really stuck to the book more. The movie would have done better.
