"Bobby Ewing in the shower" perfectly describes how the movie ends. Trite, clichéd, unsatisfying. The sad part is, it had some real potential: intersting characters and a compelling premise. Too bad it couldn't deliver.

Let it be known, however, that the book is absolutely stunning. From what I understand, the film is just much less “wow” than the book.
