Disappointing and dull, especially in comparison to 'The '80s: The Decade That Made Us', which I enjoyed immensely, choosing to focus, largely, on politics and tragedy, while ignoring the many good things that were happening with music and movies. Had the creators summarized the politics and tragedies, there would've been room for music and movies.

I was SO excited to see this adaptation after reading it in Full Dark, No Stars - boy, was I disappointed.

I even told my mother, who is and has been a massive Stephen King fan probably as long as I've been alive, not to bother, that it was a serious disappointment.

I also feel that it was dreadfully miscast. In the beginning of the book, Stephen King made sure we knew what a good man Bob is - didn't do that enough in the movie. Plus, I don't think Anthony LaPaglia makes a very good Bob.

Yeah, the movie definitely doesn't portray Bob as a nice guy, more like a smarmy used car salesman. Disappoint.

Shame, really.
