Beloved Book, Lousy Movie: "Love in the Time of Cholera"

The link I have provided above will take you to a review of the film entitled Love in the Time of Cholera, directed by Mike Newell, and based on the novel of the same name by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The reviewer of this film is Kyle Smith of The New York Post. Smith opens the review by saying,

"If you've seen "Gone With the Wind," you've seen what "Love in the Time
of Cholera" isn't. "

By the looks of it, many others who have viewed the film share the same feelings as Smith, in that the film does the novel no justice and is not worth seeing. The end result of which was the film was found to be 'horrible' by most viewers.
