While I loved the book, I have to admit that I didn't go into the movie with high expectations knowing that it would take a masterful director to do it justice. But even my mediocre expectations were dashed. Disjointed, self-indulgent, self-conscious, cliched, contrived, and at times completely nonsensical if you hadn't read the book. Oh and a terrible casting choice of Julia Roberts as Liz. I obviously wasn't the only person who thought so as we had people walk out half way through.
If you are a die hard Julia fan and absolutely MUST see it, wait until it's out on DVD. If you can avoid it, do so at all costs.
Anyone else seen it?

I'm not a Julia Roberts fan. For some reason she annoys me and even the previews of this movie annoyed me. :) LOL I will definitely skip it.
hmm really, I haven't read the book but I enjoyed the movie. I am not usually a Julia Roberts fan but I liked her in this..
I've read the book and I thought it was ok. I kind of felt like Liz was really selfish.
I'm glad to hear your review. You saved me $9.
