So, I read the other reviews, and I thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as people wrote. Yikes, I was wrong. The book is a beautiful tale, with lovable characters. Mary-Rose is warm and sweet and her relationship with Harrison (not her brother, though they did make someone Scottish in the movie) is one of the best romance tales ever. Furthermore, her brother are all fantastic characters that you fall in love with. In contrast, everyone in the movie is stiff and cold, Mary Rose is a snot, and her brothers have nothing to endear them to the viewer. To say this movie completely missed the mark is an understatement. Even when you disassociate the book from the movie (which is admittedly difficult even with the lack of similarities), the movie itself is badly acted, with even worse dialog. The person in the movie with the most personality is Stringer, which does not appear in the book at all. Overall, even expecting to be disappointed after reading the other reviews, I was even more so disappointed. One of the worst movies I have ever seen, by far...
