-as we expected, many more invented lines

-”Ed” (to Janet): “I don’t want you around because I’m liable to start making passes at you.” Oh my.

-hospital nurses: (1) are good at detective work, and (2) fall for their patients in a highly unprofessional way on a regular basis, especially if the film’s producers think it will appeal to audiences.

-It doesn’t matter that the protagonist flirts shamelessly with anything female that moves…he’s still a good person because that’s what the filmmakers tell us.

-Never too much eye sex.

-Just in case we didn’t catch the implications of “Ed” and Mrs. Mathews drinking together, the suggestive fade out was necessary.

-Paul always shows up to save the day…even in places he never set foot in in the novel.

-Janet: “And there’s another reason–I’m asking you not to.”

-No complaints with Jeff.

-Apparently the book wasn’t complicated enough for them, so now Janet Henry is nearly arrested as a ploy to make her father confess. (Side note–I really don’t think the Senator Henry in the book would have cared that much. He probably would have let his daughter be arrested and played along with it. His political career would have been his highest priority, as demonstrated through his prior actions.)

-Final Scene: I could say a lot of things about how Janet praises Paul’s goodness and treatment of her in the movie, whereas in the book she still hates him despite her reason for it being taken away, but instead, I’ll just leave you with this…

“No, the other hand.”

Hey, he wanted his ring back ;)
