Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

I knew the rabbi was someone made to look old.. so I knew something was up. Didn't guess it was Meryl Streep tho!! I loved all Emma's characters. I never saw or read the play before this. I too enjoyed Joe's wife's character, as well as Louis'. I look forward to the next installment so I can figure out how it all ends. | |

I missed this, so I'll have to catch a re-run. Anyone know how faithfull to the play it was? My ex-wife is a huge fan of the play[s], but I never got a chance to see it.

part 2 gets a lot more emotional and a lot more crazy. part one is mostly set up for part 2. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

I'm a homosexual. (Pause) Mom? Hannah: Well I would think you were old enough to realize your father didn't love you without making some big dumb reaction like this.

from what i recall of the script (which is a lot, read it several times) it is almost word for word, and the few things that are changed are mostly to support the change from stage to screen. i really hold it as probably one of the most faithful adaptations i have ever seen.
