No thread yet? My wife read the book. I'm guessing a viewing is in my near future.

Make sure you parlay it into the sechs to make it a worthwhile investment.

I read the book and actually have a text going with friends about how much we didn't like it.

Heard the movie isn't great

Great potential theme but they chucked it up. It was a boring a film as you can make

It wasn't terrible but wasn't great. I'd put it in a well done Nicholas Sparks movie category. Don't mean that as a compliment.

It would have been a top tier straight to streaming movie.

Lack of plausibility really handicapped this movie.
A girl who was completely uneducated from age of 5 becomes a leading naturalist because her jungle boyfriend teaches her to read a few dr Seuss books

Looks like it's happening tonight ($5 Tuesday tickets for AMC Stubs). I'll grab a monster, thanks for the heads up.

I've heard rumblings about this in my household as well.

I tend to hit the movies on Tuesday afternoon because it is discount time. That also happens to be the time the older, retired women hit the movies. If all I knew about movie attendance was based on what older women are watching, I would have believed Crawdads and Mrs. Harris goes to Paris were outdoing Maverick. So many women slowly moving through the theater.

Sometimes you see a trailer and instantly know that it's going to be a terrible movie that every basic ***** on your timeliness hypes.

Fun fact: The woman who wrote this, along with her ex-husband helped lead a group of paramilitary anti-poachers that went around murdering poachers in Zambia, and her stepson literally murdered one in front of a camera that was then aired on ABC back in the mid-90s. She and her ex husband are still wanted for questioning regarding the murder.

My wife gave me a synopsis of the book similar to this.

After about a 5 min explanation I waved my hand and said no thanks. She didn't like the book.

Had not heard of this before but found a couple of videos on it.

Wow, that's messed up. The video of the ABC story is crazy.
