The reviews of moms and teenage girls from what I have read.. There is violence, but not the main focus.. They said it is decent, but their target audience is women it seemed..

Oh. I had no idea this was a girls book / movie.
I knew the main character was a girl, but that was it. |

It's not a girls book. There re just a lot of teenage girls who like it.

I have to admit, Jennifer Lawrence is smokin. Love that she's not rail thin too. Prefer her as a blonde though.

She is perfect for the part. Thin and not overly attractive and she can act. Woody Harrelson is great casting as well. I seen an interview where he let it slip that he signed on for 3 more movies. I'm thinking this movie will box office around 70 million first weekend. |

She was really good in this. There are a lot of quiet parts where her acting is just her facial expressions. She handles it well. The thoughts of Katniss that are able to be expressed in words in the book are pretty well reflected in Lawrence's acting IMO. She is a really nice casting decision.

Going to see this tonight on IMAX, and I cannot wait! Yes, the romance aspect of it draws you in somewhat at first. I also think it's partly the fact that she has basically taken on the role of taking care of her mother and little sister in hard times. It's not just the romance aspect, it's the fact that she's a strong young lady with a good head on her shoulders.

The book is geared toward girls (girl protagonist, romance is a key component) so the movie probably will be too.

What is a girls book if it's not one that's more attractive to girls than guys?

Is there such a thing as a girl book or a guy book? There are certainly genres that fit this mold... Romance novels vs war stories. Would it be based off of who winds up liking it more? What if it's a brutal war book that more girls wind up liking (not likely)? When I read the Hunger Games I didn't think it was a girl book but later I found out that I was told that it was a young adult book and now I'm seeing all of the screaming idiot teenage girls on TV and I'm wondering what I got myself into. |
