Goofs

During Tessa's debate with Hardin about "Pride and Prejudice", one of Hardin's many tattoos shown is one in Hebrew on his right upper arm. The letters of these two words are written backwards on his arm (left to right), thus the words don't make any sense that way. They're supposed to be written from right to left, and they mean: "We are all stupid".

User Reviews

Disappointing

Two people meet in college, fall in love very fast and then for the rest of the movie you watch them making out. The "plot twist" isn't even a twist. The book(s) are incredibly gripping, I don't understand why they had to tone the plot down this much. The movie should have been 18+, it feels like it's 12-.
