You telling me they turned this book into a chick flick??? Well, if so, then hats off to you, Hollywood, for ruining a seemingly straight-forward book-to-movie adaptation.:hi:

Saw it last night. IMHO they did the best they could with the acting talent they had to work with. The whole circus thing in the Depression is pretty well done. You definitely get the feeling of poverty and quiet desperation.
Pattinson as the lead leaves a lot to be desired IMHO, just not talented enough to pull it off. Witherspoon as well, just doesn't quite pull off the conflicted woman choosing between a secure life and forbidden love.
Anyway - It's only two hours, and it's worth seeing once.
