For those reading reviews in order to ascertain if the movie is worth watching, I'd say yes... absolutely. Sure, it's possible that you'll have criticism of certain unnecessary plot twists, cliche's and loose ends... but make your own mind up. Watch for yourself. It's most probably better than the alternative you have lined up.
Even if it may not be a perfect 10, there's a lot to get out of it... especially if you haven't read the book.

A modern mythology, worth watching
Predictable
Predictable and boring, repetitive speeches. Easy to know what's going to happen next.
Predictable and weak performances with cliche speeches.
This is one of the best selling books in Brazil, so i was expecting a good film, unfortunately it is not.
Actors with very weak performances and a very predictable script but with speeches that some may find interesting, however it's a big cliche talking about how our society is "empty" and how we are losing our values. Maybe with a better script and better actings it could worked a lot better.
Maybe it can work for people who don't have a lot of knowledge and worldview, however anyone who never read a good self-knowledge book, may find the movie incredible.
