Query: Dreadful

This movie shows the crime of nepotism: if the director had not been Walter Matthau's son, he never would have gotten financial backing for this piece of tedium. I so loved Truman Capote's novella THE GRASS HARP, I thought a movie version of it couldn't go wrong. But it is slow, sloppily directed, tedious. Read the book, it's a charming novella, but save yourself two hours of boredom by skipping this movie. I wish I had.
