I haven't read the book - but the hype, all the hype made me think it might be an ok movie. Liz was the most boring, self-absorbed character I've seen in a long time. There was no reason behind any of her failed relationships, other than the split second she got a little bored, she was out of there. Wish I would of gotten out of there within the first 10 minutes of the movie. B.O.R.I.N.G. - if you've read the book and thinking about seeing the movie - wait for the dvd.
