boring, boring, boring

Rating: 2/10 (25 December 2007)

I had a difficult time staying awake. People near me were playing with their cellphones. My friend had read and liked the book and she didn't like the movie. I should have followed the advice of the reviewer on Emily Rooney's "Here's Boston" who said something like "don't bother".
The movie is based on a very simple plot but seems like it lasts F*O*R*E*V*E*R. And what's the point anyway?
Had just also seen Gone Baby Gone which was captivating and presented a very interesting and difficult moral dilemma.
I've read many other reviews here, to make sure I didn't miss any key elements of the story or characters or relationships and I didn't.
