A staggering misfire on two levels, this adaptation of Roth's novel is lead-footed and inept. The screenplay, by John Romano, treats the narrative in a way that suggests a willful misreading of the book. The director, Ewan McGregor, also plays the Swede, a Jewish high school athlete who falls apart in the '60s. The film has no sense of place, time or place, and a series of emotional scenes that bear almost no relation to each other.
