I haven't read the books or seen the movie, but I have heard they are both good. (series and movie) I saw the preview, and want to see it. It looks quite good, I plan to make time to see it.
The books are hilarious. I love to read them and so do my siblings. I have not seen the movie but I have read a lot of reviews from respectable websites and all of the reviews said positive things. Judging from the commercials it doesn't look that funny. But I still have high expectations for this movie.
