The Lovely Bones. Haven't actually read the book, but that movie was a painful experience to get through. Peter Jackson knows how to do special effects and spends over two excruciating hours showing off all of them, even though they add little to the story which could have been told in less than half the time.

Really needs a do-over with modern special effects.
2009's Confessions of a Shopaholic.
The movie was decent but coming from the book, I was so disappointed in the adaption and how they basically took the entire series into 90 minutes.
Though Hugh Dancy as Luke was chefs kiss
The Lost World. The movie is nothing like the book.
