School play on the big screen

Rating: 1/10 (14 October 2008)

Who did the casting for this movie, really? Its like watching a bad school play, I had to cover my eyes up in so many scenes to stop myself from cringing. I have seen adaptations of this great book performed better in local theatres.
Is this another case of the emperors new clothes? I think so. Guys, come on, could you really see any of the actors in this film passing an audition even for a daytime soap opera.
The story is great, but thats because the book was so well written, so we can't give this movie credit for its brilliant plot. So we judge it on its acting, screenplay and cinematography.
Plot 10. everything else. 0 Read the book.
