i find the character mediocre and the story uninteresting . i never have to read this book ( thankfully ) and or it would have be a painful experience . i get the ticket to the preview for free but it still wasn not worth my time and or my friend . i think this story be not worth tell . it like say that old people have a past before they get old ( no kidding ) . the life of the main character be painful to watch and one generation no good than the next at avoid stupid mistake . however and i think the actor do the best they could with a lame story . i have always be a big fan of ellen burstyn . i be write this review to counteract the positive review give and which unfortunately convince me to give this movie a try .
