It's totally bad,but I'm being very fickle in this review. Since I read the novel this is based on so many,many times. The movie lacks the quirky charm of the novel that I love. There are so many changes to the plot that I couldn't get into the movie totally, I mean one of the brothers gets killed? And Adam becomes sick with consuption???! WTH, I'm like that is not how it's supposed to happen and other stuff too numerous to mention. I kept wanting to grab my copy of the book and start reading. I can say I enjoyed Adam he was very in character, how I imagined him from the book,and Jennifer Garner was a nice choice for Mary Rose but she played her as a selfish snot.In short the very beautiful and sweet story of "For the Roses" was chopped up,stripped down and what you have is like many have already said in other reviews a story that only has the names in common with the book. Truly,if you want to really enjoy a story read the book,it has drama,comedy,and a big climax with Adam's trial near the end that will keep you glued.
score 4/10
