Read the book
16 March 2003
The book 'The Prince of Tides" is exceptional - full of great dialogue, interesting images and riveting events. The movie, screenplay by the author of the book, tries but doesn't succeed very well. In his defense, this sprawling book doesn't lend itself very well to filming - too much goes on and too much depends on several characters development from childhood to adulthood, and adulthood to old age, and friend to lover.

And geesh, I'm not crazy about Barbra but her obsession with herself borders on megalomania. She is not Lowenstein (at least from the description in the book) and thinks she is much prettier that she appears in this movie.
