I never watched the movie, but I did read the book. While I do believe in the Law of Attraction, I think this book took away responsibility from the individual. They put too much emphasis on the whole "think it, believe it, and it will happen" idea. Sure, you have to believe in whatever it is you are doing, but the part they forgot to mention is that you have to get off your ass and MAKE IT HAPPEN! Don't just sit around thinking about it and then wonder why things aren't moving in the direction you had hoped.

I've read a couple of other books based on the same philosophy, but these others also stress that you need to make things happen, not wait for them to happen to you. Believing in your own ability to succeed and envisioning the way you want things to turn out just enables you to get out there and play ball instead of sitting on the sidelines as a spectator.
