Negative Positive
Title: Made for the Thompson fans (and I'm one of them)
Review: Basically, this films functions best as a companion to the book. After reading the book, you can see the film as a collection of moving illustrations and images that help make the book more real. As a film alone, this movie is funny and well made, but generally incoherent if you haven't read the original. Bottom line: Read the book, then see the movie. The movie works best after you know what the hell is going on. And since I did, it worked like a trippy charm.
