This book is one of my favourite Heinlein stories.
While not a 100% rendition of the original novel, this movie embraces the heart and soul of RAH's book.
It's an amazing emotional experience to see RAH's characters brought to life and even if with the story modifications, I loved what they did with this.
Top shelf and a massive THANK YOU to the honourable people who made this movie!

As perfect as it gets
I am the founder of the 2007 Heinlein Centennial convention, so not a casual fan. And I'm aware of how much reverence fans have for the novel. This adaptation is simply ideal. The love and respect for the original glow from the screen; you'll even recognize everything about Pete the cat. Every change is thoughtful, necessary, and makes the heart of the original shine even further. The creators of this work are clearly Heinlein fans of the first order and they have made a work he would be proud of.

Favorite book
The Door into Summer has been a favorite book of mine for many years. When I found out they had done an adaptation, I've been waiting for it to come to the USA. It did not disappoint. I do recognize that if you haven't read the book, you may be confused. And key plots were changed to fit into a 2 hour story. But I loved that they pulled dialogue straight from the book. Loved that Pete the cat's greatest moment was in the film. If you're a Heinlein fan, I definitely recommend it.
