Such...that / too....to
1) It's so warm that we can sit outside. ? It's warm enough to sit outside.
2) The apple was so sour that I couldn't eat it. ? The apple was too sour to eat.
The sentences above are examples using 'so...that~', and they are changed into the sentences using 'enough to' and 'too....to' respectively. But, how about this sentence?
3) It's such a great movie that I couldn't take my eyes off it.
? It's too great a movie for me to take my eyes off it (???)
Is it possible to change the sentence 3) into the sentence using 'too....to' ?
Thanks for reading my question,
