I read the books and then went and seen the movie. And, well, I had to go and see the movie twice because it was sooo amazingly good. They had to try to put a lot in the movie from the book in a 2 hour period and I think they did a stellar job with it. There are so many emotions that you go through within the movie. One minute the audience was laughing and giggling and the next they were gasping with surprise and bewilderment. I still think that you should definitly read the books to more enjoy the inuendos within the film, they are hilarious. The actors and actresses did a great job portraying the lovable and infamous characters. I definitly want to see it again...for a third time. haha. Go see it, you won't be disappointed.
