The hilarious adventures of a singleton

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2001)

Having read the great books I thought that the movie would disappoint me. I didn't even want to see the movie but my boyfriend and came onto it in a sneak preview show. My general opinion is that a film can never be as book as the novel. Having said that I can safely say that the film is absolutely great. Although it had to be abbreviated, it stays close enough to the book so that readers won't be disappointed. The cast is well-chosen as well and they play their roles convincingly. The only weak spot is that the film is not really British enough.
