Seeing as the book itself consisted of little more than a paragraph of text, I knew the film was going to rely on a lot of improvisation in order to fill out a full-length feature. Unfortunately, the screenplay did not live up to the ambiance of the the book. Caught between child's play and maturity, the dialogue between characters just doesn't have any real substance to tie its themes effectively or in a convincing manner. Unfortunately, the film went down with it.
