Let me get the good parts out of the way first. The movie, on the other hand, left me thoroughly unimpressed. As a kid, I loved the bittersweet end, as it got the message across and made me want to care about preserving nature. It's a charming yet somewhat depressing book as the main character realizes what he's destroyed, yet leaves a glimmer of hope at the end as he passes off the last tree seed to a young boy to plant. If you were ever a child, you are probably familiar with Doctor Seuss's 'The Lorax', a tale of a world where man's greed and selfishness has eradicated all the trees in favor of their escapist man-made town. The other later accused us of never having been kids.

Throughout the movie, one of them kept groaning and sighing at the same parts I did. I went to see this movie with two girl friends of mine.
