Loved the book years ago, movie is quite different but a straight movie of the book would have been a little empty. Taikas movies just get better and better

Just a gorgeous, funny, poignant, story line, the car chase is probably a little far fetched but what's a movie without a good car chase. This movie has got everything. My favourite movie.
