    Trite and Predictable

    I am not sure if the acting was that bad or it was the adaptation but in any case I am amazed I stayed awake. I knew what was coming 5 minutes before it arrived and I haven't read the book.

    Absolute Drivel!

    Can't imagine why it was ever made into a film. Acting was dreadful as was the story. Don't waste your time on this one.
