This was one of the worst god awful films i ever had to sit through in an english class.. it was so bad i had to wait until college to experience. We read the story, which was not any better, then watched this. Basically you have Paul, who is a misunderstood young man and whines and whines and whines, and you NEVER really care about him.. You just want him to shut up. You are supposed to feel sorry for Paul, but you can't. He's just too annoying.
