WHY: Based on Jojo Moyes» bestsellingnovel of the same name, «Me Before You» isn't much different than your typical Hollywood tearjerker; it's a cloying and all too predictable romantic drama from the school of Nicholas Sparks.
Me Before You has been adapted for the screen by Jojo Moyes (One Plus One, The Girl You Left Behind and Me Before You's sequel After You) from her bestsellingnovel, and so the screenplay is faithful to the source material, with necessary omissions.
