My friend saw it and thought it was fun. I guess it just depends on the person and perhaps what they were expecting.

IDK Jen, I hate to tell you yes or no. Admittedly I am a harsh critic when it comes to movies based on books that I have read. Like I said, I didn't hate it. Oh, and it is short. About an hour and a half.

our dollar theater cost $5.00


Ours is I think $1.75, except on Mondays when it is 50 cents.

Went this weekend with a couple of friends who have also read the books. It wasn't the best movie made from a book I've seen, but it wasn't the worst either. I've always been a Ranger fan and was disapointed with who they cast, but he grew on me throughout the movie.

Saw it on Saturday. It was Ok. Had a few funny moments. I was disappointed in the guy who played Vinnie and the one who played Morelli. He wasn't sexy enough I guess. I think the problem was that I had preconceived notions of what these characters should look like. I think if there could be more movies with these characters they would grow on me but I don't think that will happen. Lula was great but like someone else said she only had about 10 minutes of the whole movie. She actually looked like I thought she should.

OK
Have the books but haven't gotten around to reading them. So I thought it was funny. The same thing will happen as it did with the Twilight Books - saw the movie then read the books. So I will picture the characters as the movie was cast. Morelli wasn't bad - after all he is a cop, but he wasn't a total hunk. Something about him reminded me a little of the character Mel Gibson played in the Lethal Weapon series. I thought it was fun and light an a nice evening away from taxes and work. Won't win any awards, but only a few movies do that.
