One fans review

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2006)

To be this long a film must have some genuine suspense; or at least the eye must be transported to another realm. Sadly this film has little suspense, and even less eye candy.
To tell the truth I found the writing in the book pretty sloppy, I finished it only because the story itself moved along. It had that much going for it. The film doesn't. It just drags.
I don't know what happened to Ron Howard, perhaps he confused book reading time with screen watching time. Maybe it was a case of take the money and run. I don't know.
If you absolutely loved the book you might like the film. If the book failed to move you, the film will leave you high and dry as well.
