Horrible Adaptation and Acting

Rating: 2/10 (21 February 2015)

You couldn't get two worse actors or performances if you tried. This movie is so flat it puts you to sleep within 25 minutes.
The book was pretty good, but BA has to be the worst big name actor around, and the story was dumbed down and flattened by the reading of the diary and horrible narration.
The role of the invasive parents was played down, as was their mind control of childhood Amy - probably the best part of the book was the using and controlling parents, hardly played in the movie.
The book evoked emotion, the movie and the actors did not.
I can not understand how this was a popular movie, and the nominations for awards are laughable. Contrast the emotions in this "Popular" movie to under-appreciated movies such as "The Station Agent," or "Reign Over Me", both rated much lower but far superior movies.
