* DisownedAdaptation: Of a softer sort than most cases: Audrey Niffenegger (the original book's author) expressed no interest in watching the movie when it came out or any time afterwards. Her reasons are less to do with quality, and rather because the book and her characters were so intimate and personal to her that once other people started working on their own versions, they no longer felt like "hers" anymore. In her words, "I'm happy when people like the movie, but it isn't the book."
