I never read the book and i am not a huge fan of sci-fi
so, we rented this movie recently and i hated it, quite a lot
just hated the whole thing, not even anything in particular. Hated it.
I like Chris' humor, and I think you do too. Therefore, I think you might actually like the books. It's not very SCI-FI-ish.
Just general weird hilarity. The writer is great, so the book is hilarious. The movie is not.
