The acting is horrendous and the film basically has nothing to do with the novel. The books weren't fantastically written, but at least they did move you somehow. The story this atrocious film is trying to develop has nothing to do with the book plot. It even ignores what was probably the interesting part of the book: the incestuous love between Cris and Cathy. Actually, after seeing this film, you get the feeling the incestuous relationship would be between Cathy and her father (who gives her a weird look when he gives her 12 year old "favourite" daughter who looks 20), Cris and his mum, and the grandfather and mum. Just terrible, can't believe they destroyed such a best selling book like this.
