Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (16 August 2016)

In my heart, I want to give this movie a lower rating of two. But I've seen much worse things than this, and there is plenty of good things in here. The scenery is gorgeous, and the acting is good too. Seriously, after seeing this I want to vacation in the desert.
Before I get into this, I must admit I haven't read the book which this is based on, so maybe that's why I didn't get it. With that being said, I found this movie to be pretentious. Why on earth am I supposed to care about the lives of snobby rich people? They have these supposedly grand statements about love, lines which only served the purpose of making them look shallow. Hana and Kip seemed like side characters, I think they might've been more interesting as leads.
Finally, this movie goes on for way too long. I wanted to leave, but I kept hoping that maybe I could enjoy it like so many others have. But I can't.
