Negative Positive
Title: Great book, awful movie adaptation
Review: I loved reading the book. It brought me to places, ideas, tastes, smells and feelings of each experience Elizabeth encountered. It was nuanced with her challenges and internal struggles. I was really looking forward to an evening with this movie and a glass of wine.The movie was a great disappointment. Julia Roberts portrayed her character with very little depth and I actually never cared for Elizabeth. I found her whiny, needy and stupid. There was also zero chemistry between Elizabeth and Felipe.This was 2 hours of my life I will never get back. And I feel it soured me on the overall book experience also. ugh.
Is the review positive or negative?
