Characters: Most important characters in the book are Louisa Clark and Will Traynor. Louisa Clark is an average girl with a spunky fashion sense, and she was hired by Will’s mother to keep Will company.

I would also change the lines given to the characters. In the book, Will reminds me of Chandler Bing from Friends, but you didn’t really get that vibe from the movie. Here and there he may have lines where you’ll get the sarcastic charming side, but I wish they showed more of that. Lastly, I would change the perspective of the film. In my opinion, it would take things to a whole new level by not only showing what Louisa has gone through, but also what Will’s family is feeling, for crying out loud, it would be nice to see what Will was feeling during this
