I mean, I wasn’t going to like this movie. I didn’t like the book and only watched the movie because it was part of a Book-to-Movie library activity. It was interesting to see what they left out of/added to the original narrative.
Cost: free
Where watched: at the Hollywood Library, with a bunch of teens. Who then played a modified game of Sharks and Minnows, running through the closed library, dodging hazards in the “maze” (chairs, lego pits, strings, walls of book carts). This was much more fun than the movie.

That game sounds awesome! I want to play!!!
Even though I hated the book, I ended up watching this because it was available to me for free on HBO & because the actor who plays Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) is one that I’ve had my eye on for a few years. He’s got some serious chops. Sadly, even he could not save this story.
