12 Book-to-Movie Adaptations So Bad, the Authors Deserve Letters of Apology

This adaptation of Lois Lowry's Newbery Medal-winning YA novel about a dystopian society where no one experiences pain or suffering boasts an all-star cast that includes Katie Holmes, Alexander Skarsgard, Jeff Bridges, and Meryl Streep, but even that couldn't save it from being "safe, sorry and a crashing bore," according to Rolling Stone's Peter Travers. Also, Taylor Swift is in it? So there's that. It sits at 35 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
