PLEASE RATHER READ THE BOOK!!!

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2001)

Why?
Well, firstly, it's one of the the best books in modern era. Like a Selinger's "Catcher in the rye" for the 60's generation. And, secondly, you'll see, what could a more capable director did with this movie. No offence, Stephen.
Since I read the book before the movie, I certainly expected more funny scenes (for instance, when the main character goes to the movies with his parents and how he comments this event) and maybe a stronger dramatization. I'm not even to sure, if I would put John Cusack for a lead role. While others, especially the guys who worked with him, were much more appropriate.
On the other hand, there is a scene (you know, the one with alternate ending, with "aircondition fight scene") who laughs my pants out. But, sadly, this was the only thing that was above average in this movie. Otherwise it was just as I was watching the Sex and the city episode, only from a man point of view.
