Default the movie was based on my teacher's books

Seriously, the WORST movie ever! Whenever the movie got boring they decided to spice it up by having someone die....when poeple have to fall over dead for a movie to be interesting, you know you are reaching too far!
You wanna know what really pissed me off about that movie?

My creative writing teacher in college, Sarah Dessen, (I was a creative writing minor) wrote the two books that the movie was based on (That Summer and Someone Like You). The damn producers/screenwriters BUTCHERED her two stories and spliced them together to take two completely separate books and meld them into one- it made no sense. I felt badly for Sarah because her books deserved better treatment than that. "Dreamland" and "This Lullaby" her two most recent books are really awesome.
