Movie #3572 "The Storied Life of A.J.Fikry" (netflix) This is another book my book club really enjoyed made into a movie that is available for streaming on netflix. I liked this book better than the film --- just didn't like or believe the guy playing A.J. but the little girls who played his adopted girl were wonderful. The book came across more whimsical , and A.J. more warm of a character once the little girl was around. But this movie still has some powerful moments, like the book, and I would give it a 4 out of 5. The lead character ws a bit flat --- the girl was memorable in her role.
