or I would have know that I was in for a big disappointment . The actors did a good job w/ what they were given, but the screenplay & direction were way off base. Relationships rushed thru, cramming important scenes into one. Fabricated scenes that didn't make sense. The movie should have set up this love story & thrown in the action where it needed, but in Hollywood, it's all about making a buck, not about making a good movie. The studio told the actors not to take themselves to seriously, that the movie was supposed to be "fun." The book had "fun" dialogue, but the story was never "funny", the movie however was. Do studio execs., directors, etc., even watch movies anymore? Why can't they just leave a good book alone & put it on screen?
