I can't help but wonder what a non-Pynchon reader would make of this, since even given how much more straightforward this is compared to Pynchon's usual excess it still presents a fairly winding and dense novel, and his sense of humor doesn't perfectly translate to the screen.

I've never read a Pynchon novel but I thought this movie was great and super funny. I loved it. It was a confusing ride, especially from the point when Shasta came back to the end, but I didn't really care that I was getting lost, as the constant humour kept me hooked. Seriously, I pretty much had a smile on my face the whole movie, except the previously spoiled section. So many great performances as well, but Phoenix and Brolin were definitely the best parts for me (I lost it hard at the baby photo scream and when Doc leaves Wolfmann's home and Bigfoot is trying to drag him away while he's tucked in a ball).
