Many different characters in the movie acted and looked different in the movie compared to the novel, but some were the same. The character I noticed changed majorly was Mark. In the novel, Mark was quiet and reserved, but in the movie he was loud, outgoing, and obnoxious. His apperance in the novel claimed him to have golden hair and eyes, and reminded Bryon of a lion. But in the movie, Mark had spiked, brown hair and brown eyes. Athough in both the movie and the novel, Mark was shorter and smaller compared to Bryon. Bryon gave off some appearance changes, like the color of the shirt he wore to the dance. But in the novel, Bryon didn't seem to be quiet until later on in the story. In the movie, he was the quiet one and seemed cautious of things, until the end after he talked to Mark and stole the car. Mark was also more affected my Charlie's death compared to Bryon in the movie.

Another character I noticed was changed was M&M. In the story, he had charcoal, long hair, and gray looking eyes. He was said to have a peace necklace in the novel, but it wasn't shown in the movie. In the movie, he had brown eyes and short blonde hair. Also in the novel it stated that M&M was shorter and smaller than both Bryon and Mark, but in the movie he was shown being almost the same size as Mark. Cathy also appeared different. She didn't seem as quiet in the movie as she was said to be in the novel. She also didn't have the charcoal eyes she had in the novel on the movie. She also seemed to be more mad rather than sad in the film, unlike the book.

Even though there were many differences of the characters in the novel and movie, there were also many similarities. Bryon showed the same look that was described in the novel, also in the movie. He had dark, shaggy hair and dark eyes, was a big guy, and resembled a Saint Bernard puppy. He also cared about Cathy greatly and thought of marrying her. Bryon also showed later on in both the novel and film that he felt bad that he called the police on Mark and wanted to make up with him. Bryon seemed to be close to Charlie in both storylines. Both Mark and Bryon thought of each other as best friends and "brothers" until the ending. Mark may not have gave the look of a lion, but in the movie he still acted strong and confident. Cathy showed the same personality in each storyline also. She said what she thought and was extremely worried about M&M when he ran away. M&M was shy and trusting to anyone as in both the movie and the book.

The movie of //That Was Then, This Is Now// had many differences compared to the novel, but both still shared a common ground.
