Big Trouble (2002)
Fast-paced, lots of action.
I read the book before I saw the movie, and was very curious to see how they would deal with several areas. Part of what made the book so funny was Dave Barry's descriptions of the scenes and characters, plus what was going through the minds of the dog and the toad. I couldn't imagine how this would be done in a movie.
The movie was very funny, but I think that if you haven't read the book, you may have trouble keeping up with who's who...lots of very colorful characters, each with his/her own agenda. I think that if I hadn't read the book first, I would have been lost - the pace of the movie is very fast.
Characters are fantastic, and captured Barry's descriptions very well. The movie was funny, but the book was HILARIOUS. My advice: By all means, see the movie, but read the book first. It will add to your enjoyment of this really fun piece of work.
