Query: Godawful adaptation of the book

At first when I started watching this *movie*, I thought it was some sort of joke. Surely I had stumbled onto a satire of the real movie or something odd like that? Was I on comedy central by mistake. No, it was actually the movie version of IT and it was really really bad. I haven't seen this kind of overacting outside of soap operas before. What more could I expect from a movie starring the one and only John Ritter. Don't waste your time with this movie. The acting is over-the-top, the story is rushed, the only saving grace is Tim Curry, who is a crazy sicko that does wonderful portrayals of odd vilanous characters (e.g. see the lord of darkness in Legend). I shudder to think what goes through that man's brain in real life. Aside from his performance, this movie is C-rate garbage (that's right, it's not even worthy of being called a B-movie). It's TV-after-school-special bad.
