I didn't read the book...but I purchased the movie at costco for 11 bucks and well...hmmm...I just don't know. I'm undecided on this one. I started liking it mostly, but a certain part of the movie kind of turned me off when two characters farted. Which is weird that it was a turn off, because I'm a big kid and I always laugh at that sort of thing. I think if I re-watched the movie I'd probably like it.
