Great laugh and truthful story

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2005)

Actually I saw the movie first, then read the book. Both are excellent. I've had a great time watching the movie and I really love John Cusack and Tim Robbins in the scene they meet. I wasn't able to breath from laugh - really. Barry and Dick are glorious. The story is not quite easy to get, you have to watch the movie properly to get all the jokes and relations! Since you get along with Rob, you'll dive into his life and thoughts, you realize how truthful this movie is. Even so, it's hilarious and funny. Anyway - during the 2-hours time there are some blind spots where the tempo goes down a bit, but never mind. You can use the time to relax a bit and be prepared for another great round. But the result - you'll get a great 2 hours with some little plot holes, but still excellent! And remember - there's a lot of facts anyone can recall in his own life.
