Title: Poorly written screenplay equals bad film adaptation of a lovely book
Product review: What a lousy adaptation by Peter Jackson of the Sebold novel. The story was fragmented and the characters were absoloutely shallow and cartoonish. Perhaps Jackson's embellishments were a futile attempt to make the film commercially viable - but, instead it fell flat. Even the weird serial killer/neighbor character played by Stanley Tucci could not salvage it. And, those dreamy sequences could have been clipped right from a television commercial - boring and without depth. Save your time and money and skip this bomb.
