..I read the book in 2 dfays whilst I was in hospital back in january! I havn't read any reviews as journos waffle on about why the London Underground isn't what it once was  But from what I've seen on the news its beem slammed by most people for its bad acting, mainly on Tom Hanks' part.
Anyone seen it yet, and more importantly, those that have read the book how disapointed were you with the adaptation?

I've heard it was shit. Wouldn't believe Tom Hanks was bad at acting until I saw it for myself tho

Its one of those where you should watch the film before reading the book, so you can't be disappointed with the film. I have never read the book so liked the film, my sister read it, and she had mixed feelings on it.

Slamming Tom Hanks' acting is ridiculous, they say he's boring but he's meant to play a character who is quite boring... it's a fairly good film though but the book is better

audrey is the one who does the terrible acting but her lips make up for it
decent enough film plus the roman catholic church is getting its knickers in a twist which adds to the fun

I've read the book which I thought was excellent and althougth the film doesn't do it justice I still really enjoyed it.
Just hope they make Angels & Demons which is a better book all together
