When I saw this advertised I will admit I was a bit biased. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as the TV show. I am like that with a lot of remakes. I wasn't sure the actors would be as good, or if the storyline would flow as well.
The chemistry between the main characters really helped to sell me on the movie. They seemed very natural with one another but also with the other characters.
I liked how they kept to the storyline in some ways but it wasn't exact. Different characters playing different roles, events happening differently, made it into its own thing. So, I stopped comparing it to the TV show and just enjoyed it for its own charms.
