The series this movie is based on is by far one of my favorites. They are the books I go back to when I just need something good to read and nothing new is hitting the spot. But this movie? Wow, it was painful to sit through. Everything was so incredibly rushed, there is no way anyone who didn't read the books could actually follow along. This movie also fell prey to the worst book-to-movie sin. Change things for no real apparent reason. I didn't have any issues with the cast (Amandla is fantastic as Ruby, and Chubs was amazing) or the acting (for the most part). But the execution? Oh boy. If you're coming at this movie as someone who read the books, do not ruin it by watching this movie. If you stumbled across this and think the story sounds interesting, skip the movie and read the book.
