Title: Inadequate Adaptation
Product review: I teach 7th Grade English Language Arts to reluctant readers. This is a largely male group that usually enjoys the adventure aspects of the book "Hatchet" on which this movie is allegedly based. Generally, they are inspired to read when promised they can see the movie at the end. This offering, however, was such a poor adaptation of the book and so poorly realized, we almost didn't watch the entire thing. We finally decided to finish it so we could compare and contrast the two while giggling at the remarkably poor acting. We were very disappointed with the video and almost had a "Cry" ourselves. I decided to save my money; I'll just use the copy in the library if I ever decide to show ths awful thing again.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
