Title: Flippin' lizards, man!
Review: Did the Amazon.com reviewer watch the same movie I did? I have to say that Mr. Shannon is completely wrong in his assessment of this film. This is as close an adaptation of the book that you could get and it's pretty darn near perfect. Johnny Depp is thoroughly convincing as Raoul Duke and Benicio Del Toro is just plain gonzo as the all-consuming lawyer sidekick. Their desert hijinks served as nothing more than brain candy and a cult rite of passage for college kids everywhere. Gilliam does an admirable job at interpreting and visually representing what can only exist in the imagination of the warped and depraved. For that he should be praised.A definite must see for all Gilliam, Depp and HST fans out there. Don't let Amazon.com dissuade from a truly uniqie cinematic experience.
