Wild with Reese Witherspoon [View all]

So I finally got around to watching Wild w Reese Witherspoon.

Did others like it?

I kept wanting to sympathize with her but I kept finding her unlikable.

I don't know if it was Reese or the writers who couldn't convey the character's humanity.

Or maybe it's just me.
