Fast forward

Can I please have the 184 minutes of my life back? This story, although good, could have been told in half the time and still have been just as meaningful. The acting was good, but the dragging out was too much. The conveyance of time can be done in so many other ways. I felt like I spent the entire time with Chris in Alaska.
I can believe his messed up childhood, since it's common now days. Back in his time - the late 60's, it probably wasn't nearly as common, so the psychological impact was probably greater than it would be today. Kids are exposed to so much at such a young age now.
However, you can tell just by the box office data that it was a total flop. It barely made more money than it cost to make. I can't believe it had 8.4 stars. Yawn.
