Day 13: Name three absolutely awful film adaptations of books.
It has come to our attention that “awful” is an incredibly strong word, and here at The Exchange we are mostly about the love. We would be happier if we could just keep adding to the list for Day 12.
So. Please bear in mind that the movies we list down here are not “awful” per se, but have more or less disappointed us in some way.
