Fabulous cast, wasted. This film is a terrible adaptation of the novel. I have noticed comments saying "Think back to when you were 14 or 15" I am 14 and read the novel and watched the film in school. I loved the novel, and was tremendously disappointed with this film, in particular the character of Cherry. I sure hope the actor has matured because in this-yuck! My year old brother could do a better job! I pity those who call this entertainment, 1 star out of ten-and only because of the namesake.
