just another example of why stepehn king book should not be make into movie . ( even carrie and one of the best and be ruin in the adaptation from book to screen . ) the premise of the story revolve around a fat lawyer and always on a diet and who accidentally kill an old gypsy woman . in court and with the help of the judge and the local police chief and he get off and even though the accident be sort of his fault a he be not pay attention a he be drive . the father of the dead gypsy woman place a curse on the 3 and with our main character and billy ( the lawyer ) get thinner and thinner by the day . though the movie keep with the book and for the most part and and have your typical king end and the acting be stilted and felt force . we go from one scene to the next without much of anything in between and sort of like read act in a play . king himself make a cameo in the movie ( sort of like dave barry ) and which reinforces my belief that author should stay just that represent author . leave the acting to actor . not that anyone in this movie be that great . i have see the major character in movie where they be much good .
