I suppose I should have clarified, my review was for the movie, not the book. Didn't read it. Ain't gonna after seeing the movie.
My GF and I wanted to see it on Valentines Day (Ok, she wanted to see it, but I was game), so we did. Went to a nice theater where you can order drinks and food. The audience was mostly uncomfortably silent, other than the occasional outburst of laughter at not funny parts. Yeah, good stuff.
The movie's biggest sin was, as others have said: it was not hot and it was boring. No chemistry between the actors and extremely dumb dialogue.
But, all that being said, my GF and I are still getting mileage out of making fun of the movie, so, it was money sorta well-spent-ish in that sense. I tease her now about my deserving punishments and so on. And "I want you in the play room! 15 minutes!". We work with what we gots.
It's not the worst movie of all time - there is Plan 9 from Outer Space, Santa Claus vs. the Martians and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes to contend with - but it's a right up there for a big budget feature. I'd probably still give the nod to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. That was a true stinker. Stinky, stinky britches!
