I have read the book and have found it interesting. But this film is horribly boring with one and the same things and situations being repeated again and again. There is no development of plot or of characters. Just the stupid, empty lives of some uninteresting and superficial people. Even the jokes are primitive and predictable. I rarely walk away at even bad films but I did it this time--I left about 30-40 minutes before the end. I really had the feeling that I was wasting my time. If I have to describe the film in one word only I would use SUPERFICIAL.It may be liked by young people but I very much doubt that an adult will be pleased with it. Maybe authors have tried to make it scandalous but I think all the themes ( sex, drugs, speedy driving) are outdated and will not cause anything but a yawn.
