All I can say is that I was pretty let down. I haven't read the book, but everyone raving about it to me built this movie up in my mind. Unfortunately, I didn't "get" the movie. It started off great but quickly left me behind, wondering what on earth they're doing, why they're doing it, or what happened to what they were supposed to be doing. The acting was very hit or miss. I found Freeman to be hilarious at times, and completely intolerable others. He seemed to put on his "Laurel" (& Hardy) face far too often which, while funny at first, wore off pretty quickly. Mos Def gave a mostly forgettable preformance, while I wanted nothing more than for Rockwell to be shot out of a cannon into the sun. I can't give this more than a 2.5 as is. Some hilarious scenes mixed in with a mostly drab picture. Again, if I had read the book beforehand I feel I may have had a better idea of what was going on, but since I have no idea what the plot was like if expanded and not cut for time, I can't see anything but abbreviated bits of nonsense.
