surprisingly insightful | 3 | positive |
to those who have not read the book , the film is a much better mother-daughter tale than last summer 's ` divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood , ' but that 's not saying much . | 3 | positive |
the director , with his fake backdrops and stately pacing , never settles on a consistent tone . | 0 | very negative |
earnest yet curiously tepid and choppy recycling in which predictability is the only winner . | 1 | negative |

a film really has to be exceptional to justify a three hour running time , and this is n't . | 1 | negative |
