Not even close

Rating: 2/10 (2 September 2012)

As an experienced movie watcher I am fully aware that the screen writing rarely communicates the same thing as the book of the same name. This however has not even the slightest resemblance to the book of the same name. In addition this is just a waste of very good talent. The screen writer and the director took the $125 mil and went on vacation or something. This was not the worst movie I have ever seen but it was close. I found myself waiting through the entire film hoping it would get better at least for the actors. But it didn't and I'm sure the actors wish they could have a do over on this one or at least strike it from their resumes.
