I'll preface it with this: There are plenty of great Hollywood-type films that are excellent, so in no way am I bashing those types of films. But when it comes to my favorites, a lot of them tend to be indie films. While this does have a couple big names, it's still an indie film. I have no complaints with the acting, which I think is top-notch. The script (I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on it) isn't that unique but still leaves plenty to work with. To me, the character development just doesn't evolve enough to make you really, really care about the characters as much as you should with a film like this. It's a decent flick. Just not great.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this movie. Great acting all around, but the plot wasn't as cohesive as I would've liked. Still worth seeing.

If you are a Franco fan, I suggest you read the book instead. This film adaptation does not capture the joy of the written word.

Movie was average. Good cast. Story was pretty basic. James Franco has had much better roles

We've seen this all done before, though the acting is strong.
