The four main characters did not develop as well as they did in the book; all of their stories were drastically shortened & changed, so that I think it would be hard for someone who hasn't already read the books to really embrace & understand each girls' story. I know it would be hard to make the movie as good as the book, but I think they could have done a better job. I thought that Lena was casted terribly... Alexis Bledel does not look Greek in any way, and does not have the goddess-like beauty that Lena is described as having. She's pretty, just not in the way that Lena is supposed to be, in my opinion. Also, Carmen's mom doesn't look very Hispanic, and doesn't have any sort of Spanish accent. Bridget's love-interest is supposed to be part Hispanic too.. AND the character Effie was completely left out.In all though, it wasn't terrible, just not as good as it could've been & not nearly as good as the book.
