Movies that are based on books are always worse than the book. So when the book sucks, what can you expect from the movie? I read the book The Westing Game in 7th grade. It was boring and stupid. A couple days ago, I saw the movie on TV. Everything that was bad about the book, was ten times as worse here. Characters I don't give a damn about, plot twists that made me laugh because they are so pathetic, boringness, terrible acting, I HATE THIS MOVIE! Why did I waste two hours of my life watching this? I don't know. Don't make the same bad choice I did. Go watch Se7en or Reservoir Dogs. You'll thank me later.
