You have heard about the man who boosted his Chevvy to the max with a USAF jet booster pack? No? Well you should have. Yes? Well, it's in here and much funnier to watch than anything you could say in words. The one about the dopeheads who fence-crash a Metallica concert? The dynamite ice-fishing trip with a dog who likes to play fetch? All these people eliminated themselves from the human gene pool with a spontaneous verve and aplomb which would fool you into thinking they had brains and a plan, if only these awards were not posthumous.
All these and more are in here, brilliantly packaged with great performances. There are lots of laughs in here, but lots of serious thought-provoking moments too. The wraparound story of the slasher-hunt, the geek with the video project, the fascinating yet spookily statistical mind-reading insurance investigator rookie who cannot stand the sight of blood, or even ketchup if it looks like blood? The road-hardened femme fatale? Watch this, it keeps you guessing, it's good. In fact, it's a keeper.

I adore the series of books but was a little concerned because of some of the previous reviews I'd read.
Being a bit of a risk I expected to be disappointed in this film, however hubby and I were delightfully surprised.
The acting quality was outstanding in the film.. don't get me wrong, its not going to win oscars but everyone was believable.
It had a much better story line than expected too.
All in all it had us both falling about with laughter.
If you like the books, then definitely give this film ago. It's not expensive and in my humble opinion its definitely good value for money :)

I couldn't help been a bit disappointed by this film. I'd been wanting to see it for a while as i thought the idea sounded as though it could make for a really funny story, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. Also, it seemed to have been done on the cheap too, with one or two quite unconvincing special effects. Worth a look maybe, but no classic!

Pretty funny and well produced comedy
