Directors or actors/actresses who "didn't get it"

I have to be honest. I love that movie. Sure, it's cheesy and overdone, but it's just a fun movie to watch.

But yeah, it's not that he didn't understand the book, it's that he tried to parody it and failed miserably. Which is why I said I was not sure if this counted for your thread.

I don’t know the book at all so I’m out of my depth here but the movie seems very parody to me - I always just thought it was a light parody of the whole genre. That vibe is precisely why I can’t help watching it when it’s on. It has an irresistible goofiness about it.
