I can't believe that there are people who actually think this is a 10 out of 10 movie. Hearts of Atlantis is the perfect example of how Hollywood can transform millions of dollars into crap.
The script is flat, no climax, only a succession of "wise" and "literary" one-liners by Hopkins and "cute" ones from the little kid. It's just simply boring. Bad adaption from a King story. I guess you have to read the story first in order to fully understand how the director and the screenwriter messed up Hearts in Atlantis.
