The "Flowers" series of books by V.C. Andrews were a huge part of my childhood. I read and reread them dozens of times - they really affected me. I have been waiting my whole life for someone to make a decent film adaptation of this book, as it truly deserves one. Well, I'm still waiting. This was better than the 1987 version, but it doesn't do the desperateness of the plot justice at all, and the acting was terrible, save for Burstyn. This is not a good or fair version of this book - if you are a fan just stay away. 2/5

At Any Price
This family drama is poorly acted, badly written & terminally boring. I dosed off for 10 minutes & missed nothing. 2/5

About Cherry
This story of a young porn star was oddly redemptive & filled with great acting but was very predictable. 3.5/5

Father of Invention
Spacey is amazing but this film never decided what it wanted to be - there was a great film here somewhere. 3/5

The Hangover
Um, no. I don't get the appeal of this movie or of Zack G. This was just pointless & stupid & nonsensical. 2/5
