Title: Out of pity, I award this movie a star
Review: Ugh, another example of Hollywood's ineptitude at capturing the soul of a beautiful story...Even if not compared to the book this movie is supposed to be based on (by the way, the movie seems only to have borrowed the title and names of the characters from the book, nothing else), this film lacks ANY oomph. Once again, Hollywood compensates for a poor story line by over doing the special effects. The characters remain two-dimensional throughought the film...the only thing mezmerizing about it is the fact that Williams was able to stay awake to play his role.Contrived, shallow and thoroughly disappointing, whether you compare it to the novel or not.
