Ack.

The movie was just scenes from the book, which didn’t endear me to it.

If you hadn’t read the book, it wouldn’t have made much sense (I know, because Hubby didn’t get what was going on.)

There was no visible emotion. It was telling us what the actors were supposed to be feeling, but it felt like everyone was going through the emotions.

Richard Gere’s hair was nice, but Juliette Binoche and the girl who played Eliza were just weird.

They did change a bit of the story, drawing out the spelling bee so it lasted the whole story arc, but that really wasn’t enough to make it likable.

And it still didn’t make any sense.

Perhaps I should just chalk this whole thing up to “outside of my realm of enjoyment” and move on.
