Overall, I liked this movie a lot. It doesn't really capture the essence of the book, but a lot of the jokes make it through the transformation unscathed. The problem with the movie is that it seems to lack a cohesive narrative to pull the story from the beginning to the end. It's more a stream of consciousness collection of whimsy. The book walked a very thin line between story and sillyness and succeeded, but oddly enough the changes that the movie made add more confusion than structure, which seems completely antithetical to the idea of adapting a book to the screen. If you've read the books, you'll recognize a lot of the jokes and the characters, and the performances are really great, so you'll probably enjoy the movie. If you haven't, you'll laugh but will most likely be left wondering what the hell is going on. Rating: 3/5 EPS fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Apr 29, 2005 |
