i can't believe this was a film!

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2001)

This was the worst film I have ever seen that was taken from a book. It completely screwed up the story and didn't even finish with the book. John Steinbeck is an excellent writer and should have sued for making such an awful movie after his book. What were the movie makers of the time thinking when they thought they could turn this into a film. Considering that the story was a little too racy for films at that time especially the ending. Having to read this for an english class I bet people just watched the movie and were too lazy to read the book. Hollywood can never portray a story from a book. Considering the bad acting, directing and portrayal nobody will read the book after seeing this movie! Always read the book before seeing the film, it's much more worth it!!!!!
