Cringe!!!

Rating: 5/10 (28 January 2009)

As A movie in itself it's OK. A real "Popcorn & Coke"-movie. But as soon as you look at historical and/or book correctness you start to cringe.
I understand it's difficult to adapt this book for a short movie of only 2 hours. But come on, the clothing, hair, behaviour and dialogues are all just too wrong. There's no chemistry between the characters and some were even left out completely.
I was really looking forward to a new movie of my favorite book but I was severely disappointed. I wished they called it something else and with different character names then it would've been OK, still not really good but not so frustrating as it is now.
