It was okay, at best. But I cannot say enough how much of a let down it was. I had high expectations for the movie because of the book. Jeannette Walls did excellent telling us her story. But Hollywood barely did the bare minimum on the story. If I didn't read the book I might've had thought she had not as a rough life. But she did. And it's shame that Hollywood didn't put as much effort as Walls certainly did. Just a shame.
