I tend to agree, which is weird, because John Irving wrote the
screenplay for the film.  I read the book just a week or two 
before I saw the film, and I was amazed at how he managed to 
remove most of the moral ambiguity and totally change the meaning
of the title.  yeah, stick with the book on that one, indeed.
