Negative Positive
Title: I couldn't even finish.
Review: Why, oh why, did so many ladies sing the praise of this book and movie? Do I really know that many stupid, dull women? This movie was so lacking in story depth, character (which I understand is what the character was lacking in the beginning, but still!). Sure, it was visually appealing - which is why I gave it 2 stars. If I'd stayed longer for the male rear nudity, maybe it would have gotten 3 stars but I doubt it. After 12 minutes in my daughter and I already wanted to turn it off. And just over and hour we couldn't take it anymore. I think maybe you had to have read the book first to have bonded with the main character. Alas, this movie was made without realizing that most of their audience did not read the book first and we were not going to simply love the movie because Julia Roberts was in it.
Is the review positive or negative?
