Wow, what a waste of time this movie was. I read the book about 30 years ago and remember it pretty well. This wasn't even close to the perfection of the book. I can only assume that all the other actors were as disappointed as I was because Glover is that bad in this movie. There is no subtlety to this adaptation, and a 2 hour movie probably isn't sufficient, but it might have been bearable without that awful lead actor. Don't bother, but read the book.
