Review title: Mostly a waste of time.
Product review: I never read the book, so had very sketchy knowledge, but great expectations. Now I have knowledge and those expectations were UNFULFILLED. The film was well done, but WHY DO IT? I am very anti-organized religion so the knocks on the church (with RC's subbing, in my mind, at least, for all OR) resonated. But such silliness. And there was little of the suspense that the makers seemed so proud of: I KNEW after about 10 minutes that THAT character was THAT CHARACTER!!!! Tom Hanks was good in his typical fashion; Ian McKellen was awfully silly; the girl OK. But I was terribly disappointed. That this was at or near the top of best-seller lists for two years+ says much too much about the vapidity of American taste. But then we've gota smirking chimp for president.....
