This is Absolute Drivel! This Was Based on a BOOK?!

My goodness. The acting was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is a shame because the plot (according to the synopse) seemed like it would be a good story. I can't determine if what I'm hating most is the actors, or if it's the story. I'm hoping it's just the acting because if not, then this says that the author is a really bad writer!
