Re-Illuminated

I should say I've been re-illuminated, but not in the most spectacular way. After reading Foer's novel, I think I had high expectations for the film. Everything Is Illuminated (the movie,) didn't really leaving me with that "enlightened" feeling I got from reading the novel. Though I agree with the cuts made due to film length, the film does end differently which kinda bummed me out. I have go say "kinda" because I really do appreciate the PG-13 standing and keeping the visuals less graphic than the text. The film is very amusing, so I wouldn't mind to re-see it, but my bias to the novel had to drop it down a few pegs: 3/5 Stars. I highly recommend for those who haven't seen this, or read the novel yet.
