The Celestine Prophecy is a 2006 American film directed by Armand Mastroianni and starring Matthew Settle, Thomas Kretschmann, and Sarah Wayne Callies. The film is based on James Redfield's best-selling novel of the same name. Due to the fact that The Celestine Prophecy novel sold over 23 million copies since its publication in 1993 and has thus become one of the best-selling books of all time, Redfield had expected the film to be a success. However, the film was almost universally panned by critics and was a box office failure with a total worldwide gross of less than $1 million. As of... February 9, 2010, the aggregate review website Rotten Tomatoes registered only one positive review out of a total of 23 which gives the film a rating of 4%. As of the same date, Metacritic, another aggregate review website, registered a score of 23 out of 100 based on 10 reviews. Film critic Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called the film "clumsy -- not merely unconventional but awkward in its narrative development and dialogue", also adding that the "characters are sketched in shallow terms".
