A made-for-television film adaptation of the novel, produced by Hallmark Entertainment and filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, premiered on ABC in 2004. Jon Voight starred as Eddie, with Ellen Burstyn as Ruby and Jeff Daniels as the Blue Man. The New York Times gave the film a negative review, calling it too slow-paced and overly sentimental. The review suggested the film was only made due to the success of Tuesdays With Morrie, another film based on an Albom novel.[3]
