Reception

Due to the fact that "The Celestine Prophecy" novel sold over 23 million copies [Dubecki, Larissa. [http://www.theage.com.au/news/in-depth/strongselfhelpstrong-celestine-prophecy-author-coming-to-town/2008/03/21/1205602651103.html Addressed to the nines, picking up good vibrations] , "The Age", March 22, 2008. Accessed September 30, 2008.] 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. [Caine, Barry. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_/ai_n16223974 Looking for enlightment in all the wrong places] , "The Oakland Tribune", April 28, 2006. Accessed September 30, 2008.] 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. [ [http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=celestineprophecy.htm The Celestine Prophecy] , Box Office Mojo. Accessed September 30, 2008.] As of September 30, 2008, 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%. [ [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_celestine_prophecy/ The Celestine Prophecy] , Rotten Tomatoes. Accessed September 30, 2008.] As of the same date, Metacritic, another aggregate review website registered a score of 23 out of 100 based on 10 reviews. [ [http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/celestineprophecy?q=celestine The Celestine Prophecy] , Metacritic. Accessed September 30, 2008.] 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". [Mick LaSalle. [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/04/21/DDGPHIBU5P1.DTL&type=movies Smarmy take on 'Celestine Prophecy' isn't very fulfilling] , "San Francisco Chronicle", April 21, 2006. Accessed September 30, 2008.] In his top ten list of the worst films of 2006, LaSalle called it a "misbegotten film, an awkward, undramatic effort" and named it as number three on the list. [Mick LaSalle. [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/12/31/PKGPPN3G0A1.DTL&type=movies From Bad to Worst] , "San Francisco Chronicle", December 31, 2006. Accessed September 30, 2008.] Mark Olsen of the "Los Angeles Times" said "the movie is flatly acted and extremely ill-paced, lacking any sense of urgency, momentum or fun". [Olsen, Mark. [http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/cl-et-celestine21jul21,0,3020404.story The Celestine Prophecy] , "Los Angeles Times", July 21, 2006. Accessed September 30, 2008.]
