worst I have seen for a long time

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2011)

A real good book turned into a really bad movie. I have no words for the badness of this film. Swank is only giving a big horse smile, Butler is so pathetic showing his affection. It is just sooo bad, it made me cringe. I only endured it to the end as I hoped this whole thing would at least have a good ending. But no - even that is non-committal and empty. Good Lord - what a waste of time and money. One of the rare films that leaves me embarrassed watching.
What were they thinking when producing this lot? The story is incoherent, plain, boring. The tears are false, the affection over-enthusiastic.
