Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I absolutely adored the book series. I rented this knowing it had many bad reviews but was hoping the cinematography and my ability to suspend judgment/not be offended if movie doesn’t match the book, would make the $4.99 rental worth it. It wasn’t. At all. There were so many random changes from the book that either added nothing or were outright confusing. The character development was so shallow, except for all focus on Meg’s faults. The plot was confusing even though I knew the backstory. It was just...annoying to watch. Save yourself the time and go do something productive. Or take a nap. Or use the $4.99 to pay for a food delivery.
