Title: Read the Books
Review: The first 2/3 of this DVD are quite good, though there are major scenes from the books that get only cursory "check the box" treatment here. That's largely the problem with this--it makes a valiant effort, but I think ultimately fails in capturing the depth and hugely comedic nature of these books. The last portion of the film--after the war-- is quite disappointing--a different actor now plays the narrator & some of the characters appear to have aged dramatically (at least one with very bad makeup) while others haven't aged at all. Bad choice. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this set of DVD's because the last portion of the film is so bad.
