    Stiff, Unrealistic, Pretentious
    Unbelievably poor screen adaption of Joseph O'Connor's play is a candidate for WORST FILM OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

    Full of cliches, unbelievable situations, cardboard characters. AND SO TOTALLY BORING!!!!!!

    Nothing about the situation, the characters, rings true.

    In short, don't waste your time.

    A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT!
