Title: How much you like it really depends on how stupid you are
Review: This really is a film for idiots. Tim Hines thinks his audience have no intelligence every step of the way. He constantly has his terrible leading man narrate what is happening as if we are too stupid to guess for ourselves. Every minor point is repeated again and again in case we missed it.All plot points from the original book are touched without any emotional depth or nuance by a supremely untalented filmmaker. Performances are clumsy and hammy at best and Hines has no idea how people interact. The silent dinner sequence is a classic example of pointless padding, bad acting and hopeless directing. It adds nothing and makes his pitiful players look even worse than they already did. Impressive achievement.For all the Pendragon shills on this site giving themselves a round of applause - how many more Bravos or Congratulations Mr Hines can they fake? - this film deserves only the loudest of boos. My cat has dragged in better.
