Oh, I know exactly what you mean. I hate most adaptations of books I love, but when the authors get involved, I am usually more open to it, because I know that they are going to do shit right. So with Chbosky writing the screenplay and fucking directing the thing, I get excited.
ETA: But it's okay that you aren't! I just hope you go see it when it comes out and that you end up liking it, even if it's not perfect. It's an extension of the canon, not meant to replace the book we love. It came out when I was in grade nine, I have super special *~feelings*~ attached to it, yo.
Also, there are a lot of ways to entice people into Lerman-love, but sometimes you don't have time to sit down and fall in love with him over the course of his entire career. Or at least, his career from Jack & Bobby onwards, because he grows up ever so nicely and typically chooses really unusual roles for his age. Like "Meet Bill", in which he dresses up in lingerie and dances around for Jessica Alba's amusement.
