The movie from the book is a box office smash. Not so much with our reviewer.

In this version of the future, TV has extended reality competition to the ultimate: kids between 13-18 are selected to fight to the death. Before the games begin, they visit the dramatically-modern capital city, where they?re groomed for TV and prepped for the fight. Jennifer Lawrence soaks up most of the screen time as a serious, determined young woman who seems destined to dominate the pack. Once the match begins, her home-grown survival skills come to play. The action is sporadic with all the killings dispatched quickly and painlessly (for the PG-13 rating). The art direction is colorful and the drama unfolds with solid zeal. Fans of the books will probably appreciate the film more. I found it satisfying without being special.
GAY ANGLE: Considering the big-city styling, there are gay people around. Just not evident. Handsome Josh Hutcherson played the son of the lesbian moms in ?The Kids are Alright.?
