a a big fan of kathy lette early novel and i be so pleased when i hear they be make this into a film . i now hold my hand up and say i really should be shoot for not know any good . this film be an absolute stinker . it be jumpy and make zero sense and have manage to cut all the good stuff out of the book and just leave the crappy bit . the book verge on the ridiculous but always retain it humour this film doesn not . i can not quite pinpoint what it be i hate so much about it . actually and yes i can everything . it totally ruin the book for me . i have read it since and could not erase the image of a truly terrible performance from anna beth jordache friel a maddy . give this a wide berth .
