I read Christopher Buckley's oustanding novel this summer and, last night, the wife and I settled down to watch the movie (she also read the book.) Has anyone else on here done both? If so, were you as dumbfounded with why the screenwriters completely overhauled the actual story as I was?
I can't say I thought the movie was bad, but I was very disappointed that they strayed so far from the book. They turned what could have been a great movie into one that I am happy I saw but will most likely get dusty on my DVD shelves and never be viewed again.
