1. No, the characters in the movie don’t visually look like the characters describe in the book. Asher didn’t look as it was described by Lois Lowry. The book said Asher was 12, but in the movie he looked like he was like a college student. Lois Lowry described him as a funny kid, and I was guessing in the movie he would be funny.

Hollywood also added things that were not needed and unnecessary like the kissing scene. The movie was also offset with some parts like, Asher being a pilot when he is supposed to be an assistant director of the rec.
