This movie is exceptionally bad. Especially after reading the novel, it was unbearable. They have not done Justice to the novel at all. Whole movie was like a badly written synopsis of the book. Acting was flat, character depiction absolutely irrelevant! They picked up dialogues straight from the novel and whatever little changes they made only made it worse. Khaled Hosseini should not have allowed this. Seriously!! It's a huge disrespect to his book.
