  The thing with Simon Birch/Owen Meany:
  that book is just huge.  Irving wrote a dense book.  There's no way all that book could have been fit into a movie.  The movie itself is OK.  not the best i've ever seen, but it didn't suck.  
  But if you've read the book, and you know just how much there is to that story (and how much they  mucked with the ending of the movie), you have to stick to the book.  

  And why did they change the name?
