⭐ Featured Review
You need to read the book!!!
"This might be the worst movie adaptation of a book that I have even viewed. I love the book, but the movie only loosely follows the same plot. Honestly, the only good thing about this movie is how bad it is. If you are looking to laugh at a film or compare it angrily to the book, then this is for you. Otherwise, steer clear...."
