Title: Awful Adaptation
Product review: I cannot believe Helen Fielding wrote this screenplay!!!! Did she intentionally ruin her own book? Unbelievable (and that fake accent is horrendous!). I saw this in the theatres and was tremendously disappointed; I rented it thinking maybe I had been too harsh in my original assessment; however, I disliked it even more after a second viewing. The book's plot is completely ruined here and, while the book is a little shallow, it was a fluffy, enjoyable read. Not so this movie. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth should be ashamed of themselves for being in this piece of trash (and if I'm not mistaken, wasn't Hugh Grant made fun of in the book?). I can't believe how many people praise this flick. It's quite possibly the worst adaptation of a book to screen I have ever seen. A complete waste of time. Let's hope there's no sequel.
