Saw it, was underwhelmed by a lot of it. The sprinkle of King nods throughout bumped the mood up a little, but it couldn't sustain it.

Also, I have to agree that Jake as the POV character made it feel more like a YA novel turned film than it should have.

(But I did think Roland in the hospital was very telling in a subtle way, and this thread introduced me to Radio Free Mid-World and I thank whoever it was for that!)

It was Cujo? Huh. I'd heard it was Tommyknockers, which I'd believed due to how much of a mess that book is.
