Not only is this movie a disappointment for fans of the book (me) it is also terrible if you are just looking for a good popcorn action movie (my friend). As mentioned in other comments the acting is below subpar. This alone usually doesn't ruin a movie for me. What does ruin the movie is the awful screenwriting. Granted they were trying to squeeze and very dense plot into a movie with a running time under two hours, but my girlfriend's cats could have done a better job and they haven't even read the whole book.

The first season of this show was brilliant! It was edgy, and took pot-shots at popular celebs. Unfortunately ABC canceled it. NBC picked it up, but destroyed it. They changed the tabloid to a magazine, made George Wendt the owner of the magazine, and immediately took the edge off (NBC can't be edgy at all, I think it must be in their charter). The show then sucked until the final episode, which took place in a hot air balloon. It was one of the only series finales that actually ended with style.
