I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

I saw it tonight and must say I was pretty disappointed. I felt it lost the thread on the satire even more quickly than the book. And when it did have the thread it wasn't biting. It could just be that this has just lost some of its topicality in the four or five years since the book since, at least in California, the questions satirized have already been answered in favor of silly paternalistic governmental babysitting.

The guy two rows ahead of me thought it was the funniest thing since sliced bread, however, and wasn't shy about letting people in surrounding theaters know it. He sat there giggling through the closing credits which was enough to drive me away (usually I'm a credit watcher).
