Kristine’s Movie/Book review. Not as good as Shaun’s, but as informative.
About 5 years ago I was on vacation and I bought a silly girl book. The guy I was with grabbed Dave Barry’s Guide to Guys.
During the trip while I was driving the first leg of the trip he sat in the seat next to me cracking up as he was reading.
I kept asking what was so funny and he would read me a passage. It got to the point where he was reading the book to me as I drove and then when we switched spots I took over and would read.
At one point I was reading and somehow lost my spot. In order to figure out where I was I had to read ahead I started laughing so hard I couldn’t breath. He started giggling and asked what was so funny. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t even tell him.
The majority of this trip consisted of us reading this book and laughing so hard our sides hurt.
Last week I was flipping through the Netflix catalog online and found the movie. I ordered it and today it came in the mail.
This is thee worst case of ‘The Book Was Better Than The Movie’.
The book is one of the best books I have ever read in my life, but this movie is the worst I have ever seen…and I’ve seen “Muriel’s Wedding.”
Buy the book, read it & love it. Do NOT rent the movie. Ever.
