not worth the price of admission
12 December 2015 | by (kitchener ontario) – See all my reviews

I've spent the last 10 minutes creating an account just so I could write my first review. This is simply the worst movie that I have seen in years. I usually average about 2 movies a month, so I see a lot. On several occasions I almost walked out during this movie. When I was in my early twenties I went to see the movie Room with a view with a friend of mine. My friend desperately tried to convince me to leave that movie, but I stayed until the end. That was the last time that I considered walking out on a movie, and that was 30 years ago! If I had been at all tired I probably would have fallen asleep. Not worth a penny of your hard earned money.
