I read the book when the brilliant soundtrack album came out. I loved both the book and the soundtrack. Neil Diamond did an amazing job and even more amazing considering what he had to work with.
Then a little later I saw the movie. I was expecting something quite incredible. Well it was incredible. Incredibly bad. It took all I had to stay awake. It was so boring and completely unengaging. Perhaps one of the worst movies I've ever seen. So the book 9/10, soundtrack 10/10 and the movie 2/10. Stay clear of this turkey, even if you're just curious. You'll be crushed at how pathetic it is.
