The book is amazing and I wondered how it could be made a movie. They to people from the book and compacted multiple people into each character. I think it would of worked better if the choose a couple of peoples stories. Without compacting and generalizing.
I've heard a lot of shit about this movie, but after actually watching it, I gotta say it's not half bad. In fact, it's half good. Except for the Avril parts. Those were terrible.
Couldn't even finish this. This is what it was like - a made for TV movie with many big time actors. Tacky, cheesy and unbearable at times.
