[quote=Anonymous]So disappointed by the movie, especially because we are UW people. They compressed so many exciting parts of the book, had tons of rowing inaccuracies, and tried to tell us that Henley and Seattle look the same? How did they manage to have zero scenes in the rain? The only part that felt authentic was the very end, when a PNW family was huddled outside a wet cabin in awful weather listening to the radio.

Inaccuracies aside, the true crime was the terrible, flat acting. It was 2 hours of watching talking cardboard cutouts. I can’t believe that George Clooney didn’t have the pull to find a single actor who could act. And it’s not like he sacrificed acting skills for rowing skills, because that sucked too. By the end I was cheering for Cal.

My DD is 8 and read the junior edition of the book, and she said it was the worst thing she had ever watched (and that says a lot). She spent the rest of this night poring over the book and complaining about the movie. We’ve  watching more moving episodes of Gabby’s Dollhouse.[/quote]
