Negative Positive
Title: Just as bad as the book
Review: The only reason I watched this movie is because I thought it would be a time where the movie could exceed the book, as the book was so spectacularly awful. I couldn't have been more wrong. Same self-centered drivel, same narcissistic brooding, and the movie drags at the same god-awful pace of the book. A couple hours felt like 10. I had to take periodic breaks just to regroup and steel myself for the next 15 minutes, at which point I'd break again. It's just terrible. I should have just given up on it, but didn't want to waste my money, fatal mistake. I will never get those hours of my life back, and I loathe the producers for that. I have no idea how this book became such a phenomenon (well, yeah I do, thanks Oprah), and it's a pity that because of that, a terrible movie was made from it.
Is the review positive or negative?
