Title: Read the Book!
Product review: If this movie worked for you, that's great! It was a real disappointment to me although I love Elijah Wood's acting skills, and think Richard Cormier's books are fantastic to read.Something was amiss with this movie - the acting other than that of Elijah Wood, Janeane Garofalo, and the young boy in the wheelchair, was stilted - they sounded as though they were reading, not acting. The adaptation from the book by the same name left out a lot, and the actors weren't able to relay that message very well.It may be an OK movie if you haven't read the book - but don't watch it without reading the book, first!
