Different interpetration...
I just re read the book so it was fun to see what was included from the book and not. Was it good? No but it was not horrible. Lots of lost opportunities but a few good parts. I loved when the kids got revenge and Rob Lowe was well cast but if you are deciding for the first time which one to watch the original is wonderful.
The marriage scene was the campiest scenes I have seen in years and the worst of this movie.
5 out of 10.
The original a 9 out of 10.
You have been warned.....
