Movie Review
Grade: C-
While some of the year's strongest films of 2007 have stemmed from difficult novel-to-film translations ( There Will Be Blood, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Atonement), the big screen adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's famous novel Love in the Time of Cholera proves to be a disappointment.
