But the film version is likely to revolve around a father raising his sons "and balancing a natural instinct to shelter them from harm with their natural desire for adventure and even a bit of danger", according to industry magazine Variety.

Predictions for this movie:

Dad wil be an overprotective moron

The boys will be arrogant, rebellious, and perfectly coiffed.

There will be at least one obnoxious, masulinized female character who will do everything bigger, better, and faster, and at the end of the movie, will sweep one boy off his feet by showing that she can also look like Kate Moss sans wonderbra.

Anyone else?

Two days later, predictably, there was a letter to the editor from a 70’s relic feminazi whining that the book should have included girls. sheesh. You’d think even THEY would be tired of their “girls are ignored in school”, “girls are behind in math and science” mantra. I know I am.
